Final Report on the Safety Assessment of PEG-25 Propylene Glycol Stearate, PEG-75 Propylene Glycol Stearate, PEG-120 Propylene Glycol Stearate, PEG-10 Propylene Glycol, PEG-8 Propylene Glycol Cocoate, and PEG-55 Propylene Glycol Oleate
Abstract:The ingredients considered in this safety assessment are polyethylene glycol ethers of either propylene glycol itself, propylene glycol stearate, propylene glycol oleate, or propylene glycol cocoate. They function in cosmetic formulations as surfactant—cleansing agents; surfactant—solubilizing agents; surfactant—emulsifying agents; skin conditioning agents—humectant; skin-conditioning agents—emollient; and solvents. Those in current use are used in only a small number of cosmetic formulations. Some are not cur… Show more
