PEG-8

Description

PEG-8 (polyethylene glycol-8) is an ingredient commonly used in cosmetic products as an emulsifier and moisturizer. As an emulsifier, PEG-8 helps to mix different components of the cosmetic product which would otherwise not mix together. As a result, PEG-8 helps to create a smooth and uniform consistency of the product. As a moisturizer, PEG-8 helps to retain moisture on the skin and hair, improving their smoothness and softness. It is important to note that PEG-8 can be derived from petroleum and not from natural sources, so in some cases it can cause skin irritation and allergic reactions.
