CHLORELLETH-20.

Insufficient Data / SURFACTANT - CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING

CHLORELLETH-20 is a versatile surfactant used for both cleansing and emulsification in skincare formulations. It effectively reduces surface tension to aid in dirt removal and stabilizes oil-in-water emulsions by forming unique liquid crystal structures.

Summary

Surfactant Emulsifying Cleansing

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient functions by lowering the surface tension of liquids, facilitating the dislodgement of fat and soil particles. As an emulsifier, it enables the stable dispersion of oil and water phases, especially in high-oil formulations, through the creation of specialized liquid crystals.
