PEG-25M
Safety grade: A
This is a type of polymer derived from petroleum that acts like a moisture magnet for your skin. It's commonly used in skincare products to help them feel smooth and to lock in hydration.
PEG-25M draws water into the skin and helps products spread evenly, keeping skin feeling soft and moisturized while improving the overall texture and application of cosmetic formulations.
