Polyethylene Glycol (Peg) Analysis in Cosmetics

Polyethylene glycol substance can be used as a solvent, softener and moisture carrier in cosmetics and personal care products.

Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) used in cosmetics and personal care products has some risks in terms of the production process.

In the production process of PEGs, ethylene oxide and "1,4 dioxane" problems may arise. PEG can also create adverse effects for users by allowing harmful components to be absorbed more easily through the skin.

Due to the problems caused by PEG, consumers prefer "PEG free" products, which are referred to as "PEG-free".
