DODOXYNOL-7.

Insufficient Data CAS 9014-92-0 / 26401-47-8 / SURFACTANT - CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING

DODOXYNOL-7 is a synthetic surfactant recognized for its dual functionality as a cleansing and emulsifying agent. It enables the stable blending of oil and water phases, crucial for product formulation and effective removal of surface impurities.

Science

Mechanism of Action

As an amphiphilic molecule, DODOXYNOL-7 possesses both lipophilic (oil-loving) and hydrophilic (water-loving) components. This molecular structure allows it to significantly reduce the surface tension of liquids, facilitating the formation and stabilization of finely dispersed emulsions. In cleansing formulations, it effectively solubilizes and suspends lipid-based impurities and particulate matter, enabling their efficient removal from the skin's surface.
