PEG-14M
PEG-14M
PEG-14M is a synthetic polymer derived from polyethylene glycol. It fulfills several roles in cosmetic formulations: emulsifier (promotes the mixing of incompatible phases), thickener (increases viscosity), binder (ensures the cohesion of ingredients), and fragrance ingredient (helps with the solubilization and diffusion of odoriferous compounds).
