Polyethylene Glycol 1000 (PEG 1000) is a high-purity, non-ionic polymer derived from ethylene oxide, with an average molecular weight of approximately 1000. It meets NF/USP and food-grade specifications, ensuring safety, consistency, and reliability for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and personal care applications.
PEG 1000 is a white, wax-like solid that is odorless, water-soluble, and chemically stable. It functions as a humectant, plasticizer, solubilizer, lubricant, and ointment base. Its ability to dissolve in both water and many organic solvents makes it an ideal multifunctional ingredient for creams, lotions, ointments, and toothpaste formulations.
