POLIPAN 6000 is a high-molecular-weight polyethylene glycol (PEG-150) that functions as a humectant, solvent, softener, and solubilizer. Thanks to its hydrophilic properties, it effectively binds water, enhancing the hydration of the skin and mucous membranes. It also acts as a fragrance stabilizer and carrier for active ingredients, supporting the even distribution of components in cosmetic and hygiene formulations.

General information
Application
POLIPAN 6000 (PEG-150) plays a key role as a humectant, softener, solubilizer, and carrier for fragrance ingredients. Its water-binding capacity helps prevent the drying of skin and mucous membranes, enhancing the comfort of product use. In cosmetic formulations, it stabilizes fragrances and essential oils, improving the durability and uniformity of the final product. It is commonly found in shower gels, shampoos, creams, lotions, shaving products, and oral care formulations such as toothpaste and mouthwashes.
Pharmaceuticals:
Thanks to its good compatibility with active ingredients and its solubilizing properties, PEG-150 is used as a carrier in pharmaceutical formulations, especially in semi-solid forms such as ointments, gels, and emulsions. It can improve the solubility of active substances and enhance their bioavailability. As a safe and non-toxic compound, it is also used in products applied to mucous membranes, including dental and oral preparations.
Chemical and household care industry:
PEG-150 is used as a rheology modifier (thickener), emulsion stabilizer, and solubilizer in cleaning products, such as hand-washing gels and cleaners for delicate surfaces. Due to its mildness and safety, it is also an ingredient in fabric detergents and hand-wash formulations.
