ThickenerEmulsifier
“A thickener that gives cleansers their body.”
What it does
This is a PEG-based thickener used almost exclusively in rinse-off products, where it turns a thin surfactant solution into something with enough body to dispense and spread. It has no effect on skin and is rinsed away with the rest of the formula.
Benefits
- Gives cleansers a usable texture rather than a watery one
