Benefits
VISCOSITY CONTROLLING
Considerations
• Ethoxylated Chemical This is an ethoxylated chemical, meaning it’s been created with ethylene oxide, traces of which, along with its carcinogenic byproduct, 1,4-dioxane, can remain in the product.
• Endocrine Disruption
PEGs have been associated with reproductive toxicity and xenoestrogenic properties.
