Description: It is a powdered type of polyethylene glycol. This product is used for a variety of applications due to its physical and chemical characteristics.
Polyethylene Glycol 4000 (PEG 4000) is a slip additive, softener and mold-release agent. It is a water-soluble carrier substance that offers a moisture-stabilizing effect in creams and leaves a pleasant feel on the skin.
It can attract water molecules and make it available to use for the skin or hair. So, it is used as a binder, emulsifier, and viscosity controller in cosmetic products. Various reactive molecules it contains makes it a good stabilizer for any product. It helps calm any other reactive groups in various ingredients and thus gives stability throughout the shelf life. As an emulsifier, it inhibits the water and oil-based components to get separated from each other.
