About

An ethoxylated milk protein derivative used in skin care for its moisturizing and skin-softening properties.

PEG-2 Milk Solids is the polyethylene glycol ether (2 EO) derivative of milk solids (primarily milk proteins and lactose). Milk proteins have conditioning properties for skin and hair. However, milk-derived ingredients may contain residual casein or whey components that could cause allergic reactions in milk-sensitive individuals. No specific EU cosmetic restrictions apply.
