COCETH-8.

Valuable CAS 61791-13-7 / SURFACTANT - CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING

A polyethylene glycol ether of coconut alcohol that functions as a high-performance surfactant and emulsifying agent. It is utilized in precision formulations to bridge the gap between oil and water phases, ensuring uniform texture and effective debris removal.

Summary

surfactant emulsifying solubilizing cleansing

Science

Mechanism of Action

Coceth-8 operates by reducing the surface tension of cosmetic formulations, allowing aqueous and lipid-based components to blend seamlessly. As a surfactant, it encapsulates sebum and environmental impurities, facilitating their suspension and subsequent removal during the cleansing process.
