A PEG-30 modified emulsifier and cleansing agent derived from hydrogenated dimer dilinoleic acid, used to stabilize cosmetic formulations.
PEG-30 Hydrogenated Dimer Dilinoleate is the polyethylene glycol (30 mole) derivative of hydrogenated dimer dilinoleic acid, a saturated fatty acid dimer derived from linoleic acid. The hydrogenated backbone reduces oxidation risk compared to unsaturated analogues. EU Regulation 1223/2009 does not list this ingredient in Annex II or III, and no specific concentration limits are established. The PEG moiety carries minor concerns about potential trace 1,4-dioxane at the manufacturing level, but the ingredient is considered safe at cosmetic use levels.
