PEG-180M
Safety grade: A
PEG-180M is a thick, waxy polymer derived from petroleum that acts like a helper ingredient in cosmetics. It's used to hold products together, keep ingredients mixed evenly, and control how thick or thin a product feels.
This ingredient helps bind cosmetic formulations together, prevents separation of mixed ingredients, and adjusts the thickness and texture of the final product.
