Ingredient Info

PEG-100 Stearate is an emulsifier—a ingredient that helps blend oil and water together in skincare creams and lotions. It's used to create smooth, stable textures and can help improve how well products spread on skin.



Benefits

  • Helps create smooth, gel-like cream textures
  • Improves physical stability of formulations
  • May support skin barrier function when used in basic moisturizing formulas

Science: Research shows that formulations containing PEG-100 Stearate alongside other emulsifiers can improve skin barrier function and reduce trans-epidermal water loss, suggesting it may be suitable for compromised or sensitive skin in moisturizing products.
