PEG-130 GLYCERYL TALLOWATE.

Valuable CAS - / SURFACTANT - CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING

PEG-130 Glyceryl Tallowate is a versatile ingredient functioning as a surfactant to facilitate cleansing and an emulsifier to ensure stable oil-in-water formulations. Additionally, it offers humectant properties, drawing and retaining moisture to enhance skin hydration.

Science

Mechanism of Action

As a surfactant, PEG-130 Glyceryl Tallowate effectively lowers surface tension, contributing to a thorough yet gentle cleansing action. Its emulsifying capability allows for the stable integration of immiscible oil and water phases within a product. Furthermore, this PEG derivative acts as a humectant by forming hydrogen bonds with water molecules, thereby enhancing the skin's capacity for long-term moisture retention and reducing transepidermal water loss.

Stability

Polyethylene glycols (PEGs) and their derivatives exhibit good skin tolerance and are not prone to microbiological degradation. Aqueous PEG solutions maintain stability at ambient temperatures, as PEG bonds do not hydrolyze under these conditions. However, PEGs can undergo oxidative degradation in the presence of air, which can be mitigated by minimizing exposure to elevated temperatures and oxygen, or by incorporating an antioxidant into the formulation.

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel deemed PEGylated alkyl glycerides, including structurally similar compounds, safe for use in rinse-off products. In leave-on applications, it is considered safe at concentrations up to 10%, a limit established based on ocular and sensitization data. It is crucial that products containing PEGs are not applied to damaged skin, and manufacturers must ensure the absence of impurities like ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane. General PEGs have received FDA approval for various applications in food and medical devices.
