PEG FREE

PEG - polyethylene glycol - is not an individual compound but a blend of chemicals and polymers. Polyethylene is a common plastic and when paired with glycol it transforms into a thick, sticky liquid. Overall, this ingredient is recognized as safe through the community, but can be responsible for some complications: the main issue is that it can cause skin irritation and hypersensitivity. PEGs act as a penetration enhancer, causing quick and easy formula absorption. PEG free products don't contain any PEGs.
