PEG-8 Beeswax
PEG-8 Beeswax is a polyethylene glycol derivative of beeswax, functioning as an emulsifier and emollient in cosmetic products. It helps to stabilize oil and water mixtures, preventing separation, and can also contribute to a smoother skin feel. This ingredient combines the properties of beeswax with the emulsifying capabilities of PEG.
