Polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG 400) is a synthetic polymer derived from ethylene oxide. It's a clear, colorless, and odorless liquid that is highly soluble in water and many organic solvents. PEG 400 is known for its hygroscopic properties, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from the air. This characteristic makes it an excellent humectant in cosmetics, helping to retain moisture in the skin and prevent dryness.
In addition to its humectant properties, PEG 400 is also used as a solvent to improve the solubility of various substances. It's commonly used in pharmaceutical formulations to enhance the bioavailability of drugs and in cosmetics to dissolve fragrances and other ingredients. PEG 400 also acts as a plasticizer, increasing the flexibility and softness of materials. It's used in many industrial applications, such as in the production of plastics, coatings, and adhesives.
