PEG-220

Safety grade: A

PEG-220 is a thick, syrupy liquid derived from petroleum that acts like a humidifier for skin and helps keep cosmetic products smooth and well-mixed. It's commonly used in lotions, creams, and serums to improve their texture and performance.

This ingredient helps cosmetic formulas blend smoothly, attracts moisture to the skin to keep it hydrated, and allows other ingredients to dissolve properly in the product.
