PEG-30 HYDROGENATED TALLOW AMINE.

Valuable CAS 61791-26-2 / SURFACTANT - CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING

PEG-30 Hydrogenated Tallow Amine is a versatile non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier, essential for creating stable cosmetic formulations and ensuring even distribution of ingredients. It further supports skin hydration as a humectant and offers conditioning benefits for hair.

Summary

Surfactant Emulsifier Hair Conditioning Antistatic Foam Booster Humectant

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient functions primarily as a non-ionic surfactant, reducing the surface tension of cosmetic mixtures to facilitate uniform product application and assist in gentle cleansing by emulsifying dirt and oils. It also acts as an emulsifier, stabilizing the blend of immiscible liquids like oil and water within a product. Additionally, it serves as an antistatic agent and a foam booster. As a polyethylene glycol derivative, it contributes to moisture retention on the skin through its humectant properties, and in hair care, it acts as a conditioning agent to enhance combability, softness, shine, and volume.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Safe as used
Sensitization risk Low

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has concluded that PEG-30 Hydrogenated Tallow Amine is safe for use in cosmetic formulations, provided it is formulated to be non-irritating. Related ingredients have demonstrated no systemic toxic effects in dermal studies at 10% concentrations and no sensitization at concentrations up to 100%. While small amounts of 1,4-dioxane, an ethoxylation by-product, may be present, these can be controlled through purification. Hydrogenated forms of tallow amines are generally considered less toxic than their unsaturated counterparts. Dermal toxicity (LD50) in rats exceeds 10000 mg/kg, indicating a very low risk of dermal toxicity.
