PEG-75 shea butter glycerides is a skin-softening ingredient with mild cleansing and stabilizing properties, derived from shea butter fatty acids and a lightweight polyethylene glycol with humectant qualities.
Partly derived from the hydrating glyceride component of emollient shea butter, PEG-75 Shea Butter Glycerides acts as a lightweight humectant and helps bind ingredients within a formula. It works alongside surfactants to enhance gentle cleansing, leaving the skin feeling soft and supple.
It is sometimes included in cleansing formulas to create a richer texture, with the added benefit of its shea butter components reducing the potential risk of irritation from cleansing agents.
It has excellent emulsifying properties, which can effectively emulsify oil-in-water systems, making the emulsion finer and more stable. This helps to prevent phase separation and ensures consistent quality.
Retains beneficial components of shea butter, such as unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E, and allantoin. These ingredients penetrate skin easily to moisturize and nourish, especially suitable for dry and sensitive skin.
Improves spreadability and absorption on the skin, giving a smooth and non-greasy feel. In hair care, it makes hair look healthier and more hydrated.
