Verdict

Same 1,4-dioxane ethoxylation residue concern as all PEGylated ingredients; generally well tolerated. Commercially available as Viatenza Avocado PE8; lower ethoxylation degree than PEG-11 variant gives slightly more lipophilic character; no preservatives generally needed for solid PEG forms

US Note

Allowed - CIR concluded safe as used when formulated to be nonirritating
