PEG-60

Ingredient type: EMULSIFIER/TEXTURE

✨ Role: PEG-60 is used as an emulsifier, helping to blend oils and water in formulations. It can also act as a surfactant, enabling gentle cleansing of the skin by removing impurities and make-up.

Ingredient type: Emulsifier

‍⚕️ Safety: Generally considered safe when used in appropriate concentrations in cosmetic products.

✨ Vegan: PEGs can be of synthetic origin or derived from vegetable raw materials, so they are generally considered vegan, but this can depend on the specific supplier.

✨ Worth knowing: PEGs, including PEG-60, can sometimes contain impurities such as 1,4-dioxane, a potentially carcinogenic by-product. However, modern purification procedures significantly reduce this contamination. PEGs can also make the skin more permeable, so it's important to ensure that the product doesn't contain any other undesirable ingredients.

Present in: Facial cleansers, moisturizers, lotions, hair products and sometimes make-up removers.
