Why Oh Daisey Rates It This Way
PEI-10 is a synthetic polyethyleneimine polymer used to increase or decrease the viscosity of cosmetic formulations. Ingredient-specific cosmetic safety data are limited, and polyethyleneimine polymers may be irritating depending on molecular weight, concentration, and formulation. Its synthetic polymer structure may also raise environmental persistence concerns.
