PARINARI CURATELLIFOLIA OIL PEG-8 ESTERS is a multi-functional cosmetic ingredient, a PEGylated derivative of *Parinari curatellifolia* seed oil. It primarily serves as a skin conditioning agent, emollient, and emulsifier, enhancing both skin feel and formula integrity.

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient functions via its dual nature. The *Parinari curatellifolia* oil component contributes to skin softening and smoothing, with potential antioxidant benefits attributed to the raw oil. The PEG-8 ester structure is designed to facilitate the stable mixing of oil and water phases, improving formula texture and consistency, and potentially aiding the cutaneous penetration of other active ingredients.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Insufficient data
Sensitization risk Unknown

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has not specifically reviewed PARINARI CURATELLIFOLIA OIL PEG-8 ESTERS, indicating insufficient data for a comprehensive safety assessment. However, related ingredients such as 'Parinari Curatellifolia Oil Polyglyceryl-6 Esters' were evaluated within a broader safety assessment of polyglyceryl fatty acid esters and deemed safe for cosmetic use when formulated to be non-irritating. Another CIR report on fatty ester end-capped alkoxylates also noted insufficient data for many compounds, though PEG/PPG-8/3 Diisostearate was found safe. No specific SCCS opinion or FDA status is currently available for this ingredient.

Insufficient Data

While demonstrating beneficial functional properties as a skin conditioner, emollient, and emulsifier, the current 'insufficient data' status from CIR warrants further investigation into its specific safety profile and clinical efficacy.
