PEG-12 Dimethicone is PEG combined with polydimethylsiloxane (polydimethylsiloxane), which is a silicone-based polymer used to impart The formula is smooth, promotes spreadability and increases lubricity. It can be used as a surface tension inhibitor, hair conditioner, skin conditioner, humectant, emulsifier and foaming agent (source) in a variety of beauty products and cosmetics. Due to the low molecular weight of PEG 12 simethicone, the skin absorbs the least.

PEG-12 Dimethicone is a hair and skin conditioner and can also produce stable foam. In the conditioning shampoo, even after repeated washing, it can give the hair a silky soft feel without accumulation, which helps wet and dry combing. It has moisturizing and debonding properties in body and hair products.

Although there are many concerns about PEGs, because of their multiple properties, they are regarded as ingredients in a large number of products. A study entitled "Safety Evaluation of Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) and Its Derivatives Used in Cosmetics" published in the Journal of Toxicology in 2005 concluded that: "Considering the related All available information on the compound, and based on the mode of action and mechanism of action, cannot determine the safety of these endpoints. Therefore, based on the available data, it is concluded that PEG with a wide molecular weight range (200 to 10,000 or more), their ether (lauryl) , Cetyl, cetyl stearate, stearate and oil) and fatty acid esters (laurate, dilaurate, stearate, stearate) can be safely used in cosmetics ."

PEG 12 simethicone is not considered to be an irritant or sensitizer. It can be used on skin with CIR and FDA approval, but cannot be used on broken skin.

Safety measures/side effects:

The cosmetic database found that PEG 12 dimethicone has a moderate hazard (depending on the usage), and pay attention to pollution and toxicity issues.

According to a study published in the International Journal of Toxicology, PEG (including PEG 12 simethicone) may contain harmful impurities, including: According to experimental results, it is known to increase the incidence of uterine cancer and breast cancer, as well as leukemia and brain cancer Report of the National Toxicology Program for Ethylene Oxide; 1,4-dioxane, a known carcinogen; PAHs, known to increase the risk of breast cancer; lead; iron; and arsenic (source).

Products and formulas containing PEG should not be used on damaged or irritated skin. Although it is believed that PEG is safe for topical use on healthy skin, studies have shown that patients with severe burns have been treated with PEG-based antibacterial creams. This treatment causes kidney toxicity. "The PEG content of the antibacterial cream was determined to be the cause. However, in the skin integrity study, there was no evidence of systemic toxicity. Because of the renal effects of burn patients, the CIR expert team verified their conclusions. The safety of PEG components , Pointed out that cosmetic preparations containing these ingredients should not be used on damaged skin"
