● Benefits

PEG-8 Isostearate functions as an emulsifier, helping to blend oil and water phases in cosmetic formulations. Its presence in numerous cleansing oils and balms suggests it aids in the solubilization and removal of makeup and sebum. No additional skin benefits beyond its emulsifying role are described in the source.
