Expert Verdict
PEG derivatives are generally well tolerated; a 2005 safety assessment by Fruijtier-Pölloth concluded PEGs and their derivatives are safe as used in cosmetics. Potential concern for 1,4-dioxane contamination as an ethoxylation byproduct (trace-level impurity in PEG compounds). A betulin (birch bark-derived triterpene) conjugated with PEG-22 to enhance water solubility and skin bioavailability; PEGs with higher molecular weights act as consistency enhancers and humectants
