Description

PEG-20 Stearate is a non-ionic emulsifier and softener used to stabilize emulsions in cosmetic products. It helps to combine the water and oil phases, creating a uniform texture for creams, lotions, and other products. Thanks to its ability to facilitate the distribution of the product on the skin, PEG-20 Stearate improves the feeling of comfort during application. It also softens the skin, making it smooth and elastic. It is often used in skincare, makeup, and hair care products.
