Beauty products that contain PEG-6

PEG-6, or Polyethylene Glycol 6, is a synthetic polymer commonly used in cosmetics and personal care products. Its primary functions include acting as a humectant, which helps to retain moisture in the skin, and as a solvent, aiding in the dissolution of other ingredients. Formulators may add PEG-6 to enhance the texture and feel of products, improve spreadability, and contribute to the overall hydration of formulations.
