DECYLTETRADECETH-15.

Valuable CAS - / SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING

DECYLTETRADECETH-15 is a non-ionic surfactant primarily used in skincare formulations to facilitate the blending of oil and water phases, acting as an effective emulsifier. It also functions as a solubilizer, enabling the harmonious integration of various ingredients into stable cosmetic products.

Summary

Surfactant Emulsifier Solubilizer

Science

Mechanism of Action

As a non-ionic surfactant, DECYLTETRADECETH-15 reduces the surface tension between different components within a formulation. This property allows it to stabilize oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsions, preventing separation. Furthermore, its solubilizing action helps to uniformly disperse ingredients that would otherwise be insoluble, ensuring a consistent product texture and efficacy.
