PEG-10 STEARATE

Safety grade: A

This is a gentle cleaning agent made by combining stearic acid (a fatty acid) with a synthetic polymer. It helps mix oil and water together, which is why it's commonly used in creams and lotions.

It acts as an emulsifier and surfactant to blend ingredients that normally don't mix together, creating a smooth, stable product texture while also providing mild cleansing properties.

Graded using: COSING, FDA.
