PEG-7 oleamide

Ingredient type: EMULSIFIER/TEXTURE

✨ Role: PEG-7 Oleamide is mainly used as an emollient in cosmetic products. It helps to soften and smooth the skin by forming a protective layer that retains moisture. In addition, it can also have emulsifying properties, helping to stabilize and blend oily and aqueous ingredients in a formulation.

Ingredient type: Emulsifier

‍⚕️ Safety: Generally considered safe for topical use in cosmetics.

✨ Vegan: It depends on the precise source of the oleamide, but generally it can be made from vegetable sources. It's important to check the product label to confirm vegan status.

✨ Please note: Although PEG-7 Oleamide is generally considered non-irritant, there may be a potential for sensitization in very sensitive skin. Repeated exposure to PEG-containing products may cause irritation in some people.

Present in: Often found in lotions, face and body creams, aftershaves and certain hair care products where emollient and emulsifying properties are required.
