Science
Mechanism of Action
PEG/PPG-15/15 ALLYL ETHER ACETATE functions as an emulsifying agent, stabilizing the blend of immiscible liquids in cosmetic formulations, and as a surfactant, aiding in cleansing. Specifically in hair care, this ingredient acts as a silicone polyether to enhance conditioning, deliver a brilliant shine, and provide light moisturization without weighing hair down. Its moisturizing effects can be further activated by heat.

Safety
Safety Profile
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has determined that there is 'insufficient data' for PEG/PPG-15/15 ALLYL ETHER ACETATE and related polyoxyalkylene siloxane copolymers. Further information has been requested concerning molecular weight ranges, the presence of specific impurities (allyl alcohol ethoxylate and alkylated impurities), and detailed data on dermal penetration, irritation, and sensitization, especially for smaller molecules within this chemical group.
