Description

PEG-32 (Polyethylene Glycol 32) is a polyethylene glycol used in cosmetic products as a solvent, emulsifier, and moisturizer. It helps to mix the water and oil phases in creams and lotions, providing a uniform texture and making application easier. PEG-32 also acts as a carrier for active ingredients, improving the penetration of beneficial substances into the skin. Due to its ability to retain moisture, it softens and moisturizes the skin. It is often used in products for the face, hair, and body.
