At Aloderma, we're all about farm-fresh transparency. We not only grow our own organic aloe vera, but we also want you to understand every ingredient that goes into our skincare products. Today, let's shed light on Peg-100 Stearate, a name that might sound intimidating but plays a vital role in keeping your skin happy and healthy.
What is Peg-100 Stearate?
Imagine a world where your favorite lotion feels more like glue than a silky caress. Not ideal, right? That's where Peg-100 Stearate comes in. It's a plant-derived emulsifier, meaning it helps blend together water and oil, the two main components of most skincare products. This creates that smooth, spreadable texture we all love, ensuring the goodness of aloe vera and other botanical extracts reach your skin evenly.
But is it safe?
Absolutely! Peg-100 Stearate is gentle and non-irritating, making it suitable for even the most sensitive skin. It's also readily biodegradable, aligning with our commitment to sustainable practices. Plus, it's certified by Ecocert, an independent organization that ensures our ingredients meet the highest organic and safety standards.
Why do we use it?
Beyond its textural magic, Peg-100 Stearate offers several benefits for your skin:
- Hydration Hero: It helps lock in moisture, keeping your skin feeling soft and supple throughout the day. Think of it as a tiny dam, preventing precious hydration from escaping.
- Enhanced Absorption: It allows other beneficial ingredients, like vitamins and antioxidants, to penetrate deeper into your skin, maximizing their effectiveness.
- Lightweight Feel: Unlike some heavier emulsifiers, Peg-100 Stearate leaves a light, non-greasy finish, perfect for everyday use.
