PEG-2M

Safety grade: A

PEG-2M is a thick, clear polymer (a long chain of molecules) derived from petroleum that acts like a gel or glue in cosmetic products. It helps hold ingredients together and keeps products from separating.

This ingredient thickens products, stabilizes mixtures so they don't separate, and helps bind ingredients together to create the right texture and consistency.

Graded using: COSING.
