About

An ozonized derivative of PEG-10 oleate with potential sensitising oxidation products requiring caution in use.

Ozonized PEG-10 oleate is produced by controlled ozonolysis of PEG-10 oleate, resulting in a complex mixture containing oxidative cleavage products such as aldehydes, ketones, and peroxides. Ozonization can generate sensitising compounds, raising concerns about skin compatibility. It is listed in EU CosIng without specific restrictions, but the variable composition and potential for skin sensitisation warrants caution, particularly in leave-on products.

Known concerns
