Polyethylene is a synthetic polymer used in skincare to control the viscosity (thickness) of a product, helping to create desired textures. It can also be found in exfoliating beads, though these are being phased out due to environmental concerns.
No specific concern data available
Safety summary
When used as a viscosity controller or film-former, it is generally considered safe and non-irritating for skin. Microbeads made of polyethylene are an environmental concern, but this refers to the ingredient itself.
