PEG-2 Stearate is a polyethylene glycol ester of stearic acid. The PEG Stearates are soft to waxy solids that are white to tan in color. In cosmetics and personal care products, PEG Stearates are used in skin creams, conditioners, shampoos, body cleansers and soapless detergents. PEG-2 Stearate had a potential for slight irritation in rabbits but was not a sensitizer in guinea pigs.
