PEG-240

Safety grade: A

PEG-240 is a thick, clear liquid made from petroleum that acts like a moisture magnet for your skin. It's commonly used in skincare products to keep them smooth and to help them absorb better.

This ingredient draws moisture from the air into the skin to keep it hydrated, and it also helps dissolve and blend other ingredients together in cosmetic formulas.
