INTRODUCTION

Polyethylene glycols (PEGs) are composed of polyether

compounds repeating ethylene glycol units according to the

constituent monomer or parent molecule (as ethylene gly-

col, ethylene oxide, or oxyethylene) (Fig. 1). Most PEGs

are commonly available commercially as mixtures of differ-

ent oligomer sizes in broadly- or narrowly-defined molecu-

lar weight (MW) ranges. For instance, PEG-10,000 typically

designates a mixture of PEG molecules (n = 195 to 265)

having an average MW of 10,000. PEG is also known as

polyethylene oxide (PEO) or polyoxyethylene (POE), with

the three names being chemical synonyms. However, PEGs

mainly refer to oligomers and polymers with molecular

masses below 20,000 g/mol, while PEOs are polymers with

molecular masses above 20,000 g/mol, and POEs are poly-

mers of any molecular mass. Relatively small molecular

weight PEGs are produced by the chemical reaction between

ethylene oxide and water or ethylene glycol (or other eth-

ylene glycol oligomers), as catalyzed by acidic or basic cat-

alysts. To produce PEO or high-molecular weight PEGs,

synthesis is performed by suspension polymerization. It is

necessary to hold the growing polymer chain in solution

during the course of the poly-condensation process. The

reaction is catalyzed by magnesium-, aluminum-, or cal-

cium-organoelement compounds. To prevent coagulation of

polymer chains in the solution, chelating additives such as

dimethylglyoxime are used (1).

PEGs, together with their derivatives, do not have defi-

nite chemical entities, rather, they are compound mixtures

having different chain lengths. PEGs are used in cosmetics

“as is” or in combination with their derivatives in which

their 2 terminal primary hydroxyl groups can create mono-,

di- and poly-esters, amines, ethers and acetals. Further-

more, PEGs can create additional compounds and com-

plexes through a reaction in their ether bridges. Overall,

PEG derivatives may include PEG ethers (e.g. laureths,

ceteths, ceteareths, oleths, and PEG ethers of glyceryl

cocoates), PEG fatty acids (e.g. PEG laurates, dilaurates,

stearates, and distearates), PEG castor oils, PEG amine

ethers (PEG cocamines), PEG propylene glycols, and other

derivates (e.g., PEG soy sterols and PEG beeswax). Since

many PEG types are hydrophilic, they are favorably used as

penetration enhancers, especially in topical dermatological

preparations (2). Polyethylene glycols (PEGs) and their

derivatives are widely used in cosmetics as surfactants,

cleansing agents, emulsifiers, skin conditioners, and humec-

tants.

Adding to their use in cosmetics, many PEG compounds

also have other applications. Available information from

these uses is included in this assessment where relevant. In

the pharmaceutical industry, for instance, they are used as

ointment bases or vehicles for drugs in capsules, tablet and

pill binders, suppositories, and liquid prescriptions; and in

veterinary drugs as part of parenteral, topical, ophthalmic,

oral, and rectal preparations. Further various applications

were found in soaps and detergents, wood preservation,

printing, chemical mixtures, as well as in industries that

produces textiles, leather, plastics, resins, paper, ceramics,

glass, rubber, petroleum, and metal. Polyoxyethylene sorbi-

tan esters (polysorbates) and polyethylene glycol, with an

average molecular weight of 6,000, are permitted as food

additives in various food products (3,4).

In previous studies, PEGs and various PEG compounds

have been reviewed and assessed well to be concluded as

relatively safe for use in cosmetics under the present condi-

tions of intended use (3,5,6). However, all PEG compounds

were not covered in the previous studies due to their wide

variety, and the introduction of new entities currently used

in cosmetics suggests supplementary evaluation. Thus, it is

essential to continuously monitor the safety and risks of

PEG-derived products being exposed to consumers using

cosmetic products to ensure that no potential health threats

will arise, especially when used extensively and chron-

ically. In this review, we searched for and enumerated the

PEG polymers and their derivatives that are used in cosmet-

ics (Table 1) in order to evaluate the safety of their applica-

tion according to the currently available information in the

literature.

PEG COMPOUNDS FOR COSMETIC USE

PEG/PPG-17/6 copolymer. PEG/PPG-17/6 copolymer

is a randomly produced chemical comprised of an average

of 17 ethylene glycol repeats and 6 propylene glycol repeats

(7). This mixture does not have a specific CAS number,

rather, it is found to be included in the generic CAS num-

ber 9003-11-6, belonging to the general group of “poloxam-

ers”. A cosmetic ingredient review regarding alkyl PEG-

PPG ethers has been conducted, however it was not speci-

fied whether PEG/PPG-17/6 copolymer is a related mixture

based on the given list (8). Accordingly, little is known

about the toxicological properties of PEG/PPG-17/6 copo-

lymer and thus, studies reflected in this review may be

Safety Assessment of Polyethylene Glycol Compounds 131

related to the general properties of its related mixtures,

unless specific studies can be found. As much as we would

like to know the specific effects of PEG/PPG-17/6 copoly-

mer both in animal and human studies, we suggest that fur-

ther evaluation should be needed if safety issues are found

in its analogue mixtures. PEG/PPG-17/6 copolymer belongs

to a group of copolymers of ethylene and propylene glycols

with a variety of mixed names from a generic formula of

“PPG-n-PEG-m”, where n and m signify their average

respective monomer units bound to each other randomly.

Non-random or block copolymers have specifically assigned

denominations with rules that include “poloxamer”, “merox-

apol” and “poloxamine” (9). Since very little is known about

the specific properties of PEG/PPG-17/6 copolymer, the

generic “poloxamer” will be described in this evaluation.

Poloxamers follow a general formula, where x, y, z values

depend on the mixture type (10). Poloxamers are water sol-

uble and can form gels in a concentrated aqueous solution,

which is reversible to liquid form after lowering the tem-

perature, and vice versa. Viscosity of poloxamers depends

on the increasing percentages of polyoxypropylene hydro-

phobe and polyoxyethylene hydrophile. As mentioned,

PEG/PPG-17/6 copolymer could be under the umbrella of

alkyl PEG-PPG ethers. This compound is produced from

the reaction of an alkyl alcohol to any equivalents of both

ethylene oxide and propylene oxide forming repeats in both

PEG and PPG. Although these ethers are known to be sur-

factant-like molecules, having both hydrophobic and hydro-

philic ends in their chain structures, they differ mainly in

variations of their alkyl length, and the number of PEG and

PPG repeat units in their hydrophobic ends. In each ingredi-

ent, the actual order of repeat units of alkoxides from differ-

ent sources may be block, alternating, or random. PEG/

PPG-17/6 copolymer is known to be of the random type.

Specific physical properties of the alkyl PEG-PPG ethers

are mostly unidentified, with only a known physical form of

clear to slightly yellowish liquids (8). Furthermore, each

ingredient/compound group is expected to have different

properties.

Only the production of poloxamers is known, where gen-

erally it is an ordered mixture of propylene oxide, propyl-

ene glycol, and ethylene oxide prepared at high temperature

and pressure along with an alkaline catalyst (e.g. sodium or

potassium hydroxide), which becomes neutralized to become

part of the final product (11). PEG/PPG-17/6 copolymer has

been identified as a solvent in cosmetic products (12) as

well as an emollient and surfactant (13).

Since no toxicity studies can be found for PEG/PPG-

17/6 copolymer specifically, the general evaluations of its

chemical analogue “poloxamers” are drawn. According to

the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) expert panel, the

presence of impurities during or after the process of mixing

these compounds is of concern, including 1,4-dioxane, eth-

ylene oxide, and propylene oxide, which are known to be

carcinogenic and/or highly volatile. Thus, it was empha-

sized that purification of end mixtures before incorporation

into cosmetic products should be carried out as a necessity

in order to keep these impurities to very minimum levels of

1 ppm for 1,4-dioxane and 5 ppm for ethylene oxide and

propylene oxide. In addition, toxicology studies for polox-

amers suggested “a low order of toxicity” in all acute to

chronic animal testing, including the negative results for

genotoxicity and carcinogenicity studies. No reproductive

or developmental toxicity studies have been conducted thus

far. In both animal and human testing, poloxamers were not

dermally irritating or sensitizing. Finally, poloxamers are

concluded as safe for cosmetic use according to the current

concentrations applied, and according to the manufactur-

ers’ ability to remove their impurities (8). Accordingly,

PEG/PPG-17/6 copolymer may have the same properties

and effects as long as impurities are kept acceptably low.

However, a more specific assessment for this ingredient is

highly recommended to draw indubitable conclusions for

the safety of its use in cosmetics.

PEG-20 glyceryl triisostearate. PEG-20 glyceryl tri-

isostearate is a nonionic compound with a molecular weight

of more than 1,000, and is used as an emulsifier, dispersing

agent, and solubilizing agent in cosmetics and personal care

products. It is mainly used in both rinse-off cleansing prod-

ucts such as facial cleansers or body washes and leave-on

products such as creams or lotions. The cleansing and

leave-on products contain this chemical up to 20% and 5%,

respectively. PEG-20 glyceryl triisostearate is probably

removed from the water up to 90% by partitioning to solids

during water treatment processes. PEG-20 glyceryl tri-

isostearate is not expected to bioaccumulate due to its high

molecular weight and is not anticipated to cross biological

membranes (14).

The exposure route of PEG-20 glyceryl triisostearate may

be dermal, and the dermal exposure to the notified polymer

is expected to be extensive due to daily application of PEG-

20 glyceryl triisostearate-containing cosmetic products.

Thus, the exposure to PEG-20 glyceryl triisostearate for the

public is expected to be widespread and frequent through

the daily application of cosmetics (14). In spite of the wide-

spread use of PEG-20 glyceryl triisostearate, the previous

safety assessment of this chemical for humans was still not

sufficient. Thus, this report provides the toxicological eval-

uation of PEG-20 glyceryl triisostearate as a cosmetic

ingredient. The toxicological data of PEG-20 glyceryl tri-

isostearate were estimated based on its chemical analogues

including glyceryl triisostearate, sorbitan sesquiisostearate,

and PEG-20 sorbitan fatty acid esters (Table 2) (15-17).

Although these chemicals do not contain all of the func-

tional groups present in PEG-20 glyceryl triisostearate,

some properties of PEG-20 glyceryl triisostearate can be

approximated using the component chemicals. Acute oral

toxicity of the PEG-20 glyceryl triisostearate is expected to

have LD50 of more than 2,000 mg/kg bw. Furthermore, skin

irritation and sensitization testing of PEG-20 glyceryl tri-

isostearate is expected to be negative or weak. Indeed, there

was no evidence of sensitization in the repeat insult patch

test. Eye irritation and mutagenicity of this compound was

not be observed. The main route of exposure to PEG-20

glyceryl triisostearate is expected to be dermal during appli-

cation of cosmetics and personal care products. Interest-

ingly, the high molecular weight and low water solubility of

PEG-20 glyceryl triisostearate could inhibit its absorption

through various routes including dermal, inhalation, and

oral (14). Hence, based on the overall studies, PEG-20 glyc-

eryl triisostearate would not be threatening nor toxic to con-

sumers’ health.

PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil. PEG-40 hydroge-

nated castor oil, as the name implies, is a hydrogenated cas-

tor oil-derived PEG with an average of 40 moles ethylene

oxide. It is mixed through the etherification and esterifica-

tion of hydrogenated castor oil glyceride and fatty acid

products, having forty equivalents of ethylene oxide (18).

PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil (trade name: Cremophor

RH 40) is utilized as a non-ionic solubilizer and emulsify-

ing agent. It had been used to solubilize many cosmetic

products including ethereal oils, perfume compositions,

vitamins, and hydrophobic active substances in aqueous

and/or alcoholic solutions. The identified concentrations of

PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil in products are in the range

of 0.00007% to 22%, in which the maximum known con-

centration of 22% is contained in leave-on products (19).

There were few toxicological assessment data available

for this specific compound. A patch test was conducted on

20 human volunteers using 100% concentration of PEG-40

hydrogenated castor oil on the skin of the back area and

observed after 24 and 48 hrs. No further details were stated,

however no sign of irritation was concluded. Nevertheless,

another single patch test using only 0.25% PEG-40 hydro-

genated castor oil as part of a formulation showed a mild

reaction in 1 out of 20 human volunteers, which could be

related to other ingredients in the formulation or an isolated

hypersensitivity case (Table 2) (20).

A repeated insult patch test was conducted in 120 human

volunteers with a formulation containing 0.05% PEG-40

hydrogenated castor oil. A volume of 0.10 mL of the for-

mulation was applied for 24 hrs on the back area of each

subject through occlusive patching on Mondays, Wednes-

days, and Fridays of the 3-week testing period. Challenge

patching was carried out on previously untreated sites after

a 2-week non-treatment period. Observations of the treated

sites showed one incident of almost imperceptible ery-

thema among 5 subjects during the induction phase of the

study, while one of these subjects showed a mild reaction

during 24 and 48 hrs of the challenge patching. Another

subject who did not show a reaction during the induction

test also showed an almost imperceptible erythema during

the challenge test. Follow-up testing of the 2 subjects who

showed a reaction during the challenge test showed lesser

reactions in which clinical significance could not be con-

cluded. Thus, the overall findings of the study established a

non-sensitizing effect of PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil

(Table 2) (29). A similar study using a higher concentration

of PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil at 0.25% in a formula-

tion was tested in 86 subjects. During the induction testing,

2 subjects showed a mild reaction but not during challenge

testing. One subject who did not show a reaction in the

induction testing showed a faint erythema only at the 24 hr

grading period. Results could not conclude a sensitizing

effect of the chemical at this concentration (Table 2) (23).

PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil was also investigated for

its sub-chronic treatment toxicity potential in animals. The

first experiment was investigated in Sprague-Dawley (S-D)

rats given an oral feed containing 0 (control), 10,000,

32,000, and 64,000 ppm of PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil

(20 males and 20 females in each group except 10,000,

which had 25 animals of each gender). All animals sur-

vived during the experiment period and no significant feed-

ing, body weight, or hematological changes were observed

in any group. Necropsy further revealed no signs of abnor-

malities in the internal body components. In another study,

a 6-month feeding period for PEG-40 hydrogenated castor

oil was conducted in 3 male and 3 female beagle dogs using

0 (control), l.0%, 2.5%, and 5.0% concentrations. Observa-

tions during the study showed no significant changes in

behavior, feeding, or body weight. Hematological and other

biochemical parameters were of the same levels as the con-

trol group. One low-dose-treated animal died for reasons

unrelated to the treatment. Necropsy further supported no

evidence of toxicity in the feeding study (Table 2) (19).

Dermal studies for PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil, con-

tained at a concentration of 0.25% in a formulation, were

conducted in 10 male and 10 female S-D rats through daily

applications, 5 days a week for 13 consecutive weeks. The

formulation was given at 1,640 mg/kg/day, which was

believed to be 100 times greater than the average daily use

by human consumers. During the entire duration of the

study, all rats survived and no abnormal changes in behav-

ior, body weight, hematology, urinalysis or chemical chem-

istry parameters were reported. In contrast, mild skin

irritation at the treated site was observed starting on day 5

until the end of the study, as well as a significant elevation

in hepatic weights in male rats when compared with the

controls. Nevertheless, the finding was not considered rele-

vant for toxicology since no microscopic changes were

observed (Table 2) (24).

Skin irritation studies for PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil

contained at a concentration of 20% in a micro-emulsion

were conducted in mice. The application site was the left

ear that was given a single dose of 10 µL of the material,

while the right ear served as a control. During the 6 days

observation, no signs of irritation could be seen in the

treated ear with a 20% concentration of PEG-40 hydroge-

nated castor oil (Table 2) (25). Another dermal irritation test

using 20.66% PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil, contained in

a micro-emulsion gel, was conducted in male albino rats

using the Draize method. Treated groups were given 0.5 g

of the formulation, for 3 consecutive days, in a 5 cm2 dor-

sal side shaved skin area. A negative (no treatment) and a

positive (0.8% aq. formalin) control group was present.

During the 3 days of observation, no signs of skin irritation

could be seen for the test material, and the histopathologi-

cal exam yielded negative skin irritation results (Table 2)

(31).

Feeding studies for the assessment of reproductive and

teratogenic effects of PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil were

conducted in pregnant S-D rats. One group (30 rats) was

given 50,000 ppm and another 27 rats were given 100,000-

ppm PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil from gestational day 0

to gestational day 20, while another 2 groups of untreated

control were raised. Pregnant animals were monitored and

assessed for signs of toxicity during gestation, and were

sacrificed at gestational day 20 for fetal examination.

Examinations of the mother and fetuses did not reveal any

signs of toxicity. Although resorption and malformations/

anomalies were found in some animals in the highest dose

group, similar changes were also found in the control group,

showing no significant differences. Thus, the researchers

conducting the study could not conclude teratogenicity for

PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil. Studies were also con-

ducted in 4 groups of pregnant NMRI mice using 5,000

ppm (25 mice) and 10,000 ppm (31 mice) PEG-40 hydroge-

nated castor oil from day 6 to 15 of gestation; the other 2

groups were raised as controls. During the study, no signifi-

cant maternal or fetal toxicity effects were found, and some

malformations in fetuses in the treated groups were also

comparable to the control groups (Table 2) (19).

PEG-60 hydrogenated castor oil. PEG-60 hydroge-

nated castor oil is a hydrogenated castor oil-derived poly-

ethylene glycol with an average of 60 moles ethylene oxide.

It is mixed through the etherification and esterification of

hydrogenated castor oil glyceride and fatty acid products,

having sixty equivalents of ethylene oxide. PEG-60 hydro-

genated castor oils had 349 reported uses (with a similar

function to PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil) by the time of

the CIR panel meeting. Their uses are expected to increase

in the following years. The identified concentrations of

PEG-60 hydrogenated castor oil in products are in the range

of 0.00004% to 18%, in which the maximum known con-

centration of 18% is contained in leave-in non-coloring hair

products (18).

From the clinical reports of PEG-60 hydrogenated castor

oil, a 27-year-old male patient with acute myeloblastic leu-

kemia, receiving chemotherapy containing enocitabine,

developed a high-grade fever and erythroblastopenia 6

hours after intravenous administration. PEG-60 hydroge-

nated castor oil was present in the enocitabine. A follow-up

study evaluation of dosing enocitabine alone showed simi-

lar symptoms. When the patient’s bone marrow was co-cul-

tured with enocitabine or PEG-60 hydrogenated castor oil,

significant growth inhibition of late erythroid progenitors

was observed with the patient’s IgG present. The research-

ers suggested that the immunological suppression effects of

PEG-60 hydrogenated castor oil could be due to its hapten

effect on the hypersensitive reaction of the patient’s IgG

(18). In another study, a 21-consecutive-day occlusive patch

test was conducted for PEG-60 hydrogenated castor oil,

with a 3% concentration in a formulation, in 12 human vol-

unteers. Interestingly, the test concluded the formulation to

be non-irritating (21). Thus, PEG-60 hydrogenated castor

oil, when given according to the regulated dose, should be

non-irritating to healthy consumers, while caution should be

observed for individuals with immunosuppression or auto-

immune syndromes.

Acute toxicity studies were conducted for PEG-60 hydro-

genated castor oil in various animals including male and

female Beagle dogs, male and female cynomolgus mon-

keys, male New Zealand white rabbits, male Hartley guinea

pigs, and male S-D rats. Overall results showed systemic

and irritant effects only in dogs, and not in the other ani-

mals tested, indicating species-specific effects (22).

Sub-chronic dermal toxicity studies of PEG-60 hydroge-

nated castor oil were conducted in 10 female ChR-CD rats

through daily topical applications (5 times a week for 13

weeks) of 284 or 2,840 mg/kg of a formulation containing

3.0% PEG-60 hydrogenated castor oil. Treated sites showed

slight erythema and dryness, but this was seen in both the

experimental and control groups. Necropsy did not find any

lesions, however significant hepatic weight and renal-to-

body ratio changes were observed. Nevertheless, these

changes were within the normal range of laboratory param-

eters, and no further histopathological changes were noted

(Table 2) (29).

A sensitization study (similar methods to PEG-40 hydro-

genated castor oil) in 102 human subjects with 3.0% PEG-

60 hydrogenated castor oil formulation showed no sign of

irritation in the subjects during the induction phase. During

the challenge phase, only a doubtful reaction in one subject

was observed after 48 hrs of testing, which further showed

negative results for sensitization during a follow-up test

(Table 2) (27).

Genotoxicity studies were conducted for PEG-60 hydro-

genated castor oil using a reverse mutation test in the Sal-

monella typhimurium strains TA100, TA98, TA1535, and

TA1537, and in Escherichia coli strain WP2uvrA, with and

without metabolic activation. Concentrations of the mate-

rial tested ranged from 313 to 5,000 µg/plate, and positive

controls were used including 9-aminoacridine, sodium

azide, 2-(2-furyl)-3-(5-nitro-2-furyl)-acrylamide, and 2-

aminoanthracene. Results showed no significant increase in

revertant colony numbers at all concentrations, test strains,

and metabolic conditions using PEG-60 hydrogenated cas-

tor oil, whereas genotoxic results were found in the posi-

tive controls. A chromosome aberration study was also

conducted in Chinese hamster V79 cells using the same

concentrations as mentioned above. Mitomycin C and

dimethylnitrosamine were used as positive controls. Results

showed a dose-dependent cell proliferation inhibition in the

“without metabolic activation conditions” 24-48 hrs after

treatment. The test material with metabolic activation

showed only slight cell proliferation inhibition 6 hours after

treatment, even at the highest dose. Overall, PEG-60 hydro-

genated castor oil did not show chromosome aberrations

under the experimental conditions, and it was concluded

that the material was not genotoxic. Similar studies on the

mouse micronucleus of 5 male and 5 female BDF1 mice

were conducted by giving single intraperitoneal injections

of 2,000 mg/kg bw dosage of PEG-60 hydrogenated castor

oil to experimental groups, and saline or mitomycin C to the

control groups. Bone marrow cells collected at 24, 48, and

72 hrs post-treatment showed no relevant changes in micro-

nucleated polychromatic or normochromatic erythrocytes.

No signs of toxicity were observed, further supporting its

non-genotoxic properties (Table 2) (30).

An ocular irritation test was also conducted for a 3.0%

PEG-60 hydrogenated castor oil formulation, which caused

minimal irritation to the eyes in 2 out of 6 rabbits tested

after instillation. After 48 hrs, all signs had disappeared

(Table 2) (28).

CONCLUSIONS

PEGs have a wide variety of PEG-derived mixtures due

to their readily linkable terminal primary hydroxyl groups

in combination with many possible compounds and com-

plexes such as ethers, fatty acids, castor oils, amines, pro-

pylene glycols, among other derivatives. PEGs and their

derivatives are broadly utilized in cosmetic products as sur-

factants, emulsifiers, cleansing agents, humectants, and skin

conditioners. However, studies are lacking concerning those

specific PEG-derived mixtures that we have evaluated in

this review. Little is known about PEG/PPG-17/6 copoly-

mer and PEG-20 glyceryl triisostearate, while some studies

are available for PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil and PEG-

60 hydrogenated castor oil as PEGylated oils, regarding

their safety and toxicity in humans and animals. Reviews

were mostly carried out on the general compound, with

details in a few individual studies. Nevertheless, the pres-

ent review summarizes the results of the known toxicity

studies of these compounds in focus (Table 2).

PEG/PPG-17/6 copolymer has particularly little toxico-

logical information, thus further investigation is obviously

needed for it to be continually utilized in cosmetics and

other products with human exposure. PEG-20 glyceryl

triisostearate-related studies have shown an LD50 of

> 2,000 mg/kg bw in rat acute oral studies. Furthermore,

this compound was observed to be non-irritating to rabbit

skin and eyes, non-sensitizing to guinea pig skin, and non-

mutagenic (further details unknown). Both PEG-40 and

PRG-60 hydrogenated castor oils were generally non-irritat-

ing and non-sensitizing to human skin up to 100% concen-

tration. This was also supported by animal studies. Intravenous

exposure to PEG-60 hydrogenated castor oil may cause

hypersensitive or further immunosuppressive effects as

found in a leukemia patient undergoing chemotherapy. Nev-

ertheless, acute intravenous administration of PEG-60

hydrogenated castor oil to various animal species generally

did not show toxic effects up to the highest administered

dose of 100 mg/kg. However, Beagle dogs showed some

reactions that may show species-specific effects of PEG-60

hydrogenated castor oil. Repeated-dose toxicity with PEG-

40 hydrogenated castor oil in both S-D rats and Beagle dogs

did not show toxic effects up to 64,000-ppm and 5.0% dos-

age concentrations, respectively. Acute oral toxicity studies

in rats of both PEG-40 and PEG-60 hydrogenated castor

oils have shown LD50 values of 0.25% at 15.0 g/kg and

3.0% at 5.0 g/kg, respectively. Sub-chronic dermal expo-

sure of both mixtures to rats (0.25% PEG-40 and 0.3%

PEG-60 hydrogenated castor oils) showed slight erythema

(as well as in the controls), but did not cause any toxic

effects. PEG-60 hydrogenated castor oil showed minimal

eye irritation. PEG-60 hydrogenated castor oil was not

genotoxic in bacteria or mammalian cells. Thus, these

related PEGylated oils were concluded as safe for use in

cosmetics according to regulating bodies and reviews found

in this evaluation.

Unfortunately, no reliable safety or toxicity studies could

be found for other PEG derivatives being evaluated in this

review. Nevertheless, PEGs and PEG derivatives were gen-

erally regulated as safe for use in cosmetics, with the condi-

tions that impurities and by-products, such as ethylene

oxides and 1,4-dioxane, which are known carcinogenic

materials, should be removed before they are mixed in cos-

metic formulations. Ultimately, specific assessment studies

for each chemical mixture are prompted for the exact evalu-

ation of their safety in cosmetic use.
