It helps stabilize formulas by allowing water and oil to mix, while providing skin-softening properties.<\/p>\n<p>  Ingredient type: Emulsifier<\/p>\n<p> \u200d\u2695\ufe0f Safety: Considered safe when used in usual cosmetic concentrations. <\/p>\n<p>\u2728 Vegan: Yes, because it's of plant origin, albeit chemically modified.<\/p>\n<p>\u2728 Worth knowing: Well tolerated by most, but like any PEG, it can be irritating to very sensitive skin when present in high concentrations. It's important to check product quality, as PEGs can contain potential impurities such as 1,4-dioxane, a manufacturing by-product.<\/p>\n<p>  Present in: Skin care products such as creams, lotions and cleansers, as well as some hair care products.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Comedogenic rating:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":""},"class_list":["post-41472","ingredient","type-ingredient","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"taxonomy_info":[],"featured_image_src_large":false,"author_info":[],"comment_info":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ingredient\/41472","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ingredient"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/ingredient"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41472"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
