Polyethylene glycol 4000 (PEG 4000) is a synthetic polymer derived from ethylene oxide. It's a white, odorless powder that is highly soluble in water and many organic solvents. PEG 4000 is known for its osmotic properties, meaning it draws water into the intestines, leading to a laxative effect. This property makes it a common ingredient in over-the-counter laxatives, particularly those used for constipation relief.
In addition to its laxative properties, PEG 4000 is also used in various industrial applications. It's used as a lubricant, plasticizer, and thickener in a variety of products, including personal care products, food additives, and pharmaceuticals. PEG 4000 is also used as a carrier for other substances, such as drugs and fragrances.
