Overview
PEG-32 is a polyethylene glycol that exists as a white, waxy solid at room temperature.
This ingredient is soluble in water and produces a thick water-based gel upon mixing. As a result of this behavior, this ingredient is useful in a range of products, like creams, lotions, toners, and serums.
PEG-32 also offers moisturization benefits, as it serves as a humectant. A humectant is a type of moisturizer that works by attracting water to the outer layers of the skin from either the environment or from deeper layers of the skin.
