PEG-30 Dipolyhydroxystearate

The details

This ingredient is an emulsifier that keeps the oily and watery parts of a formula blended together. Its real party trick is making thin, flowable, and very stable emulsions. Typical use sits around 2-4% (a bit higher for sunscreens and foundations). The Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel has concluded this ingredient to be safe in cosmetics and noted the large molecules aren't likely to be absorbed into skin. Because it carries a fatty-acid ester component ( stearic acid ), it may not be fungal acne safe.
