FOAMYSENSE™ 308 POLYMER
INCI: PEG-180M
Overview
FOAMYSENSETM Polymers are linear, high molecular weight, poly(ethylene oxide) polymers that are supplied as white powders. These nonionic polymers bring hydrodynamic drag reduction and a slippery feel to personal care products. FOAMYSENSETM Polymers also boost foam volume and enhance foam creaminess for an excellent in-use experience. Based on examination of the ingredients and ingredient sources and the definitions included in this letter, to the best of our knowledge, no animal-sourced ingredients have been utilized during manufacture. We are not aware of any sources for cross-contamination by products or process equipment that may contain animal-sourced ingredients.
