Ethoxylated Ingredients Unveiled: The Chemical Conundrum
Ethoxylated ingredients, often masked under cryptic names like "PEG" (Polyethylene Glycol), are ubiquitous in skincare formulations. Their primary mission? To enhance product texture and facilitate ingredient absorption. Yet, their actions extend beyond the surface, entering a realm where science illuminates their profound implications. Ethoxylated ingredients on their own are of low concern, however, the process of ethoxylation, almost always remains a contamination of two highly toxin and carcinogenic toxins, such as 1,4-dioxane and ethylene oxide, which are both a clear liquid that easily dissolves in water and creates bubbles/ suds.
Look out for these names and variations of them on the label:
PPG
PEG
Polysorbate
Ingredients that end in –eth such as laureth, steareth, ceteareth.
Breaching Skin's Fortification: The Scientific Revelation
Scientific exploration reveals that specific ethoxylated ingredients can compromise your skin's barrier integrity. This skin barrier acts as a vigilant sentry, guarding against external assaults. When ethoxylated ingredients infiltrate this defense, the consequences are significant: heightened moisture loss, increased susceptibility to dryness, and a weakened skin barrier. But that's not all, as these toxins are cacinogenic, they have been linked to breast cancer, lymphoma and lukemia (1,2).
