ISOCETETH-7.

Valuable / SURFACTANT - CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING

Isoceteth-7 is a nonionic alkyl PEG ether that serves as a multi-functional ingredient in skincare formulations. It primarily acts as an emulsifier, enabling stable blends of oil and water, and as a solubilizer for lipophilic components.

Science

Mechanism of Action

As an alkyl PEG ether, Isoceteth-7 functions by reducing the surface tension between immiscible phases, allowing oil and water to combine effectively. This surfactant property not only stabilizes emulsions but also aids in solubilizing oil-soluble ingredients, like fragrances, into water-based systems. Furthermore, it contributes to cleansing and helps stabilize foam in wash-off products.
