PEG-20 Glyceryl Triisostearate

The details

PEG-20 Glyceryl Triisostearate is a synthetic, oil-loving helper ingredient that does two jobs: This ingredient is made by joining three building blocks: PEG, Isostearic Acid and glycerin . The PEG gives it the oil-and-water blending power. This ingredient has been found safe for use in cosmetics and broader PEG family testing shows minimal irritation/sensitization. The molecule's large size also means it isn't expected to penetrate skin to any meaningful degree. Fungal acne note: This ingredient may not be fungal acne safe due to isostearic acid (C18). Isostearic acid falls into the C11-24 range that Malassezia can feed on.
