Description

Polyethylene glycol monooleyl ether n=2 (PEG-MOE) is a non-ionic surfactant that is used in the formulation of topical medications. PEG-MOE has been shown to have limited toxicity in animals, and to be chemically stable under various conditions. It has also been found to have minimal toxicity for humans, and does not cause hypersensitivity reactions when applied topically. PEG-MOE has been shown to have strong anti-inflammatory properties, which may be due to its ability to inhibit the production of molecules that are involved in the inflammatory process. PEG-MOE also has a surface chemical group that can act as a substrate for efflux transporter proteins such as P-glycoprotein (Pgp), which is important for drug delivery.
