PEG-120 GLYCERYL STEARATE

Safety grade: A

This is a gentle cleansing agent made by combining a natural fatty acid (stearic acid) with a synthetic polymer. It helps mix oil and water together, making products feel smooth and easy to rinse off.

As a surfactant, it cleanses the skin and hair by trapping oils and dirt so they can be rinsed away with water, while also helping to create a smooth, creamy texture in cosmetic formulations.

Graded using: COSING.
