It helps maintain skin suppleness and elasticity, while forming a protective barrier that prevents dehydration.<\/p>\n<p>  Ingredient type: Emulsifier<\/p>\n<p> \u200d\u2695\ufe0f Safety: Generally considered safe for cosmetic use. However, products containing PEGs may be poorly tolerated by very sensitive skin due to their manufacturing process.<\/p>\n<p>\u2728 Vegan: Yes, as long as the shea butter is harvested without animal exploitation.<\/p>\n<p>\u2728 Worth knowing: The presence of \u00abPEG\u00bb indicates that the shea butter has been ethoxylated, a chemical process that can lead to traces of undesirable by-products such as 1,4-dioxane. Make sure the product has been tested for these residues.<\/p>\n<p>  Present in: Moisturizers, body lotions, lip balms, conditioners and hair masks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>comedogenic index:\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-43384","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\/43384","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=43384"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
