Polyethylene glycols (PEGs) are products of condensed ethylene oxide and water that can have various
derivatives and functions. Since many PEG types are hydrophilic, they are favorably used as penetration
enhancers, especially in topical dermatological preparations. PEGs, together with their typically nonionic
derivatives, are broadly utilized in cosmetic products as surfactants, emulsifiers, cleansing agents, humec-
tants, and skin conditioners. The compounds studied in this review include PEG/PPG-17/6 copolymer,
PEG-20 glyceryl triisostearate, PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil, and PEG-60 hydrogenated castor oil.
Overall, much of the data available in this review are on PEGylated oils (PEG-40 and PEG-60 hydroge-
nated castor oils), which were recommended as safe for use in cosmetics up to 100% concentration. Cur-
rently, PEG-20 glyceryl triisostearate and PEGylated oils are considered safe for cosmetic use according to
the results of relevant studies. Additionally, PEG/PPG-17/6 copolymer should be further studied to ensure
its safety as a cosmetic ingredient.
Key words: Polyethylene glycol (PEG), PEG compound, Safety evaluation
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
132 H.-J. Jang et al.
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
134 H.-J. Jang et al.
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.
