Expert Verdict

Same PEG impurity and amino acid copolymer considerations as #8; considered low-risk due to high molecular weight. Essentially the carrier/backbone portion of ingredient #8 without the hexapeptide-72 active; the PEG-125 ethylamido linkage connects to a sodium glutamate/valine copolymer, providing film-forming and moisture-retention properties along with amino acid-based conditioning
