PEG-20 GLYCERYL TRIISOSTEARATE

Not on the EU Annex III list Rule-flagged fungal-acne trigger

Poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), .alpha.,.alpha.',.alpha.''-1,2,3-propanetriyltris-.omega.-[(1-oxo-16-methylheptadecyl))oxy]-, (20 mol EO average molar ratio)

PEG-20 GLYCERYL TRIISOSTEARATE is listed in the European Commission CosIng inventory under the functional categories Skin Conditioning - Emollient, Surfactant - Emulsifying. CosIng records no CAS number for it, so the column is NULL rather than guessed. In the free INCIDB sample it appears on 1 product label, reaching position 3 on Cleansing Gel Oil Enriched. INCIDB's rule-derived heuristic flags it as a possible Malassezia (fungal-acne) trigger. That is a rule, not a measurement — treat it as a filter rather than a finding.
