Does PEG-8 take effect for the Micro Dense Foam in facial Cleanser

Posted by rikandry on February 23, 2021 at 7:11 am

Dear all,

just wandering does PEG-8 take effect for the Micro Dense Foam in facial Cleanser or not?

because in japan facial cleanser like example shiseido senka whip foam, they use PEG-8 always in their cleanser product.

what does PEG-8 do in the cleanser? and does anyone know how to work with PEG-8 ?

so confused about this.

Thanks

Yes it increases foam viscosity, thus stabilizing.

Also Japanese facial cleansers are mostly using soap as the cleansing agent, and by its nature, soap gives smaller & denser foam than other surfactants.
