PEG-5 OLEAMIDE DIOLEATE.

Insufficient Data / SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING

PEG-5 Oleamide Dioleate is a synthetic ingredient primarily functioning as an emulsifier and surfactant in cosmetic formulations. It is designed to stabilize mixtures of oil and water, ensuring product consistency and performance.

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient operates by significantly reducing the interfacial tension between immiscible oil and water phases, a characteristic made possible by its molecular structure, which possesses both lipophilic (oil-attracting) and hydrophilic (water-attracting) segments. This action is crucial for creating and maintaining stable emulsions in skincare products.

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Insufficient data
Sensitization risk Unknown

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has not definitively assessed the safety of PEG-5 Oleamide Dioleate, citing insufficient data. They specifically requested more information on its manufacturing process, potential impurities, and dermal absorption, noting its classification as a tertiary amide, which differs from other alkoxylated fatty amides previously reviewed. A general concern for ethoxylated ingredients like PEGs involves the potential presence of toxic contaminants such as ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane.
