UVB sunscreen agent; absorbs UVB rays to help protect skin from sun damage. May cause irritation in sensitive individuals.
The most common cosmetic ingredient, used as a base for most products
Forms protective barrier and gives smooth feel
PEG-100 Stearate is a polyethylene glycol (PEG) ester of stearic acid. It's a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier commonly used in cosmetic formulations to create stable emulsions (like creams and lotions). It acts as a thickening agent, improves spreadability, and can enhance the feel of the product on the skin. The high molecular weight PEG (100) suggests a lower potential for skin penetration compared to lower molecular weight PEGs, but concerns remain regarding potential contamination with ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane during manufacturing. These are known carcinogens, and their presence is a significant safety concern.
