Science

Mechanism of Action

PEG-20 HYDROGENATED DIMER DILINOLEATE effectively combines oil and water phases due to its emulsifying capabilities. Its polyethylene glycol (PEG) component acts as a humectant, drawing moisture into the skin and potentially enhancing the dermal penetration of other active compounds. The dimer dilinoleate portion is recognized for its skin-conditioning benefits, helping to maintain a soft and smooth skin texture.

Sensitization risk Low

A specific CIR safety assessment for PEG-20 HYDROGENATED DIMER DILINOLEATE is not currently available. However, the CIR Expert Panel generally regards PEG ingredients as safe for cosmetic application on intact skin, and related dialkyl dimer dilinoleates have been deemed safe in current cosmetic uses. A Scientific Literature Review (SLR) for the broader 'Dimer Dilinoleates' group was initiated in February 2025, indicating that further safety data are being compiled. Notably, PEG-20 (Polyethylene Glycol 1000) holds FDA approval as an indirect food additive.
