Fine

Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.

A heavily ethoxylated apricot-kernel glyceride used as a water-soluble emollient and solubilizer. Considered safe in typical cosmetic use, but the very long PEG chain raises the importance of purified-grade sourcing.
