E430 Polyoxyethylene stearate 8

E430 POLYOSSIETHYLENE STEARATE 8

Polyoxyethylene stearate 8 is a natural compound produced from ethylene oxide and stearic acid.

It is an additive with a predominantly emulsifying, thickening and stabilizing function, contained above all in sauces and cosmetics.

At the doses normally used, there are no negative side effects, but it is thought to cause skin reactions, digestive disorders, bladder and kidney stones at high doses.

It is essential to point out that people intolerant to propylene glycol should avoid the group of additives starting from E430 up to E436.

ADI DOSE: 25 mg per kg of body weight (also the same for compounds up to E436)
