Polyethylene Glycol (PEG 4000 / PEG 12000)

Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) is a versatile, water-soluble polymer widely used across cosmetic, and industrial applications. Available in a variety of molecular weights, including PEG 4000 and PEG 12000, it offers distinct performance characteristics ideal for formulations requiring thickening, emulsification, and moisture retention.

Key Benefits and Uses of Polyethylene Glycol:

• Emollient and Moisture Retention: PEG acts as a humectant in skincare, helping to attract and retain moisture, leaving skin soft and hydrated.

• Thickening Agent: PEG 4000 and PEG 12000 are commonly used to increase viscosity in creams, lotions, and ointments.

• Solubilizer and Emulsifier: Helps mix oil- and water-based ingredients in both cosmetic products.

• Stabilizer: Enhances texture and improves shelf-life in various formulations.

PEG Grades Available:

• PEG 4000: Medium-weight Polyethylene Glycol ideal for cosmetic creams, gels, and pharmaceutical ointments.

• PEG 12000: Higher molecular weight PEG suitable for formulations requiring greater viscosity and stability.

How to Use Polyethylene Glycol:

• Melt and blend PEG into the oil or water phase of a formulation as directed by your recipe or formulation guidelines.

• Ensure compatibility with other active ingredients before use.

Available Sizes:

• 100g, 500g, 1kg
