‍⚕️ Safety: This ingredient is generally considered safe for use in cosmetic products, although a sensitivity test on a small area of skin is always recommended for people with particularly sensitive skin.

✨ Vegan: Yes, this ingredient is synthetic and therefore suitable for vegan products.

✨ Worth knowing: Undeceth-40 is one of the polyethylene glycol ethers (PEGs), which means it's chemically modified to be non-irritating and gentle on the skin. However, some people prefer to avoid PEGs because of the chemical processes used to produce them. Always rinse products containing this ingredient well to avoid any potential build-up.

Present in: This emulsifier is frequently used in moisturizers, lotions, make-up removers, and sometimes in shampoos and bubble baths.
