Science & Benefits

A polyethylene glycol ether of stearyl alcohol. It is a common emulsifier that can be moderately irritating to sensitive skin. Its comedogenic rating of 2 makes it a low-to-medium risk. It is a logic concern when paired with Steareth-21, as the combination often creates a more occlusive and congesting environment.
