    Greetings to all.

    I just wondering if someone has an experience using PEG 4000 as viscosity enhancer in lotions or hair conditioner. 
    Or can someone suggest me any cosmetic uses of PEG 4000, there arent enought information of uses of that product on the internet.

    Thanks belassi, considering that it comes in flakes I think that it can be used as thickener, don’t you think? Or am I wrong.
