PEG-12 TALLATE.

Insufficient Data CAS 61791-00-2 / SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING

PEG-12 Tallate is a polyoxyethylene ester derived from tall oil, functioning primarily as a surfactant and emulsifying agent in cosmetic formulations. It is instrumental in stabilizing mixtures of oil and water, contributing to consistent product textures.

Summary

Emulsifier Surfactant

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient operates by lowering the surface tension at the interface of immiscible liquids, such as oil and water. This surfactant action facilitates the uniform dispersion of these phases, enabling the formation and stability of emulsions within skincare products.

A specific Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) assessment for PEG-12 Tallate is not available. However, related PEG esters (e.g., PEG-12 Stearate, PEG-12 Laurate) have been deemed safe in cosmetic applications at concentrations up to 25%. General considerations for ethoxylated PEGs include potential trace residues of 1,4-dioxane and unreacted ethylene oxide, requiring rigorous purification. The CIR Expert Panel has confirmed that PEGs are safe for use even on compromised skin.
