PEG 180 is another name for Polyethlene Glycol 8000. The "8000" is the molecular weight designation. This material is available in several molecular weights, each having a different melting point and solubility.

Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) is also known as "carbowax". In it's pure form, it's a white powder which melts somewhere between 130F and 200F - give or take based on the molecular weight - into a clear, relatively thick liquid.

This material is used extensively in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, and has no known ill health effects.

Is cyclopentasiloxane bad for your hair?

I do not believe that cyclopentasiloxane is bad for your hair. Case in point, I've been using conditioners that specifically include this ingredient because it conditions THE BEST and leaves absolutely no knots in my hair. Only a little bit of conditioner is necessary when using this ingredient as it spreads so easily that a tiny bit is all you need and you never ever have to leave it in your hair for any amount of time for the conditioner to work! My hair comes out soft, manageable and shiny. Problem is, you won't find this ingredient in less expensive products (Suave doesn't include it in their products as far as I know).
