✨ Worth knowing: The suffix «PEG» indicates the presence of polyethylene glycol, which means the ingredient undergoes an ethoxylation process. While this makes it more easily soluble, it also evokes purity and environmental concerns due to possible residues of 1,4-dioxane, a potential by-product. We therefore recommend choosing products where this ingredient is purified and verified.
