About this ingredient
PEG-6 is a polyethylene glycol with a molecular weight of approximately 300 Da, derived from the condensation of ethylene oxide with water. It functions as a humectant and solvent in cosmetic formulations, helping to draw moisture into the skin and dissolve various active ingredients. It enhances product texture and stability while providing mild skin conditioning benefits.
