International Journal of Toxicology · 1999 · systematic review

CIR expert-panel safety assessment of the ceteareth series, including ceteareth-20. Based on limited ceteareth data plus extensive data on related ingredients, the ceteareths were concluded safe as used in cosmetics, but should not be applied to damaged skin, since PEG ethers on burned/damaged skin were linked to kidney damage.

Journal of Toxicology and Risk Assessment · 2022 · in vitro

On cultured human lymphocytes, ceteareth-20 dilutions (1%, 5%, 25%, 50%) assessed by LDH and WST-1 assays showed no significant cytotoxicity and only proliferative effects, whereas paraffinium liquidum exhibited both cytotoxic and proliferative effects.
