PEG-13 Hydrogenated Tallow Amide and the Vegetarian Diet

PEG-13 Hydrogenated Tallow Amide is a polyethylene glycol derivative of hydrogenated tallow amide. Tallow is a form of rendered beef or mutton fat, which is why this ingredient is not considered suitable for vegetarians. It is primarily used as an emulsifier and surfactant in non-food products such as cosmetics, personal care items, and household cleaning supplies.
