PEG-6 STEARYLGUANIDINE.

Insufficient Data / ANTISTATIC, SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING

PEG-6 Stearylguanidine is a multi-functional ingredient used in cosmetic formulations. It primarily acts as an antistatic agent to reduce static buildup and as an emulsifier to stabilize mixtures of immiscible liquids.

Summary

Antistatic Emulsifying

Science

Mechanism of Action

This compound effectively minimizes static electricity on surfaces by neutralizing charges. As an emulsifier, it facilitates the uniform dispersion of oil and water phases, creating stable formulations by reducing interfacial tension and preventing phase separation.

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has not conducted a specific safety assessment for PEG-6 Stearylguanidine, citing insufficient data. While the CIR Expert Panel has generally deemed many Polyethylene Glycols (PEGs) and their derivatives safe for cosmetic application, including removing the caveat for use on damaged skin, this particular compound lacks dedicated review. Third-party sources also classify it as 'not rated' and 'under review', indicating a current absence of comprehensive safety data.
