PPG-25-PEG-25 TRIMETHYLOLPROPANE.

Insufficient Data / SKIN CONDITIONING, SURFACTANT - CLEANSING

This synthetic polymer, derived from both polyethylene glycol (PEG) and polypropylene glycol (PPG), functions primarily as a skin conditioning agent and a surfactant. It contributes to maintaining skin health and aids in effective cleansing.

Science

Mechanism of Action

PPG-25-PEG-25 TRIMETHYLOLPROPANE conditions the skin, contributing to its hydrated and well-maintained state. Its surfactant properties facilitate effective cleansing by reducing surface tension. As a PEG/PPG derivative, it also acts as a solubilizer and solvent, aiding in the even distribution and efficacy of other ingredients, while offering humectant benefits to attract and retain moisture.

Stability

Polypropylene glycols (PPGs) and polyethylene glycols (PEGs), including this derivative, generally exhibit wide solubility characteristics and good compatibility with skin. It is typically water-soluble, providing a non-greasy feel within formulations.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Insufficient data
Sensitization risk Unknown

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has not specifically assessed PPG-25-PEG-25 TRIMETHYLOLPROPANE, classifying its safety data as "insufficient." While broader categories of related PEG and PPG compounds are commonly used and generally deemed safe when non-irritating, potential concerns arise from impurities like 1,4-dioxane, ethylene oxide, and propylene oxide, which are known to be carcinogenic or highly volatile, and may be present in PEG/PPG copolymers and their analogues.

Verdict

Insufficient Data

PPG-25-PEG-25 TRIMETHYLOLPROPANE offers skin conditioning and surfactant properties, but a definitive safety and skin compatibility assessment is hindered by insufficient specific data from the CIR and unknown irritancy/comedogenicity.
