Expert Verdict
Same ethoxylation-related contamination concerns (1,4-dioxane, ethylene oxide) as all PEG ethers. The very high degree of ethoxylation (200 EO units) may slightly increase residual contamination risk; verify COA from supplier.. Water-soluble ester combining isostearyl alcohol, 200 mol ethylene oxide, and linoleic acid (an essential fatty acid). Delivers conditioning and moisturization in aqueous and surfactant-based systems. Available commercially as Protameen's Pro-Aqua ISL. Waxy pastille form.
