OZONIZED PEG-14 OLEATE.

Insufficient Data CAS - / ANTIMICROBIAL, CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - CLEANSING

OZONIZED PEG-14 OLEATE is a distinct emulsifier and surfactant produced by the controlled ozonation of PEG-14 Oleate. It functions as a stable reservoir, gradually releasing beneficial oxygen species and lipid oxidation products (LOPs) upon topical application, offering unique properties for targeted skin benefits.

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient operates by leveraging the controlled, gradual release of ozone's oxidative properties. When applied to the skin, it serves as a reservoir for ozonides, which interact with skin sebum and mucoproteins to generate hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and LOPs. These compounds exert microbicidal action by disrupting bacterial cell walls and cytoplasmic membranes, while also stimulating the innate immune system. At low concentrations, it slowly delivers oxygen and free oxygen to tissues, thereby activating the body's repair mechanisms and promoting improved oxygenation and healing.

Key findings

  1. 01 Studies on related ozonated oils, such as ozonated olive and sunflower seed oils, have demonstrated potent microbicidal efficacy. Specifically, they showed significant effects against Candida albicans (IC50 = 0.2-0.3 mg/mL) and Enterococcus faecalis (IC50 = 0.4-2.8 mg/mL). These active concentrations exhibited no relevant cytotoxic effects on keratinocytes or epithelial cells.
  2. 02 For general cosmetic applications of ozonated oils, suggested concentrations include 1-2% for lip balms, 2-3% for moisturizers, and 3-4% for cleansers and anti-aging products.

Stability

Polyethylene glycols (PEGs) generally exhibit robust stability across heat, acid, and alkaline conditions. Related nonionic surfactants like PEG-7 Oleate are resistant to acid media and moderately resistant to alkaline media, maintaining higher stability and less susceptibility to strong electrolytes. However, the specific ozonized structure of this ingredient may introduce additional stability parameters not fully captured by general PEG or oleate data.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Insufficient data
Sensitization risk Unknown

Specific regulatory status from CIR, SCCS, or FDA for OZONIZED PEG-14 OLEATE is currently unavailable. While PEGylated oils and PEG Stearates are generally considered safe in cosmetics when formulated to be non-irritating, manufacturers are advised to ensure the removal of impurities like ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane. Broader ozonated olive oil and ozonated sunflower oil are registered under Europe's REACH regulation.

Verdict

Insufficient Data

OZONIZED PEG-14 OLEATE demonstrates a compelling mechanism for antimicrobial, reparative, and anti-aging benefits through its controlled oxygen release; however, more specific data on its individual safety profile and comprehensive skin compatibility is required for a definitive assessment.
