PEG-9 GRAPESEEDATE

Description

PEG-9 Grapeseedate is a versatile emollient and emulsifier derived from grapeseed oil and polyethylene glycol (PEG). This synthetic ingredient is widely used in skincare and cosmetic formulations due to its ability to enhance product texture and improve ingredient compatibility.

As an emollient, PEG-9 Grapeseedate helps soften and smooth the skin, providing a silky feel without excessive greasiness. Its emulsifying properties allow for the stable mixing of oil and water-based components, ensuring consistent product formulations. This ingredient also aids in the even distribution of active ingredients throughout the product.

PEG-9 Grapeseedate exhibits excellent spreadability, making it ideal for leave-on skincare products such as lotions, creams, and serums. It can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by improving skin hydration and promoting a plump, supple complexion.

While generally well-tolerated, individuals with sensitive skin should perform a patch test before using products containing PEG-9 Grapeseedate. This ingredient is typically used in concentrations ranging from 0.1% to 5% in skincare formulations, depending on the desired effect and product type.
