ISOSTEARETH-8.

Insufficient Data CAS - / CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - CLEANSING

ISOSTEARETH-8 is a synthetic ingredient primarily functioning as an emulsifier and surfactant in cosmetic formulations. It facilitates the stable blending of oil and water phases, contributing to consistent product textures. Additionally, it possesses mild cleansing properties, aiding in the removal of impurities from the skin.

Summary

Emulsifier Surfactant Cleansing Agent

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient operates by lowering the surface tension between immiscible liquids, such as oil and water. As an emulsifier, it creates a stable dispersion, preventing separation within the formulation. As a surfactant, its molecular structure allows it to interact with both hydrophilic and lipophilic substances, effectively lifting dirt and oils from surfaces when used as a cleansing agent.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Insufficient data
Sensitization risk Unknown

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has evaluated 'alkyl PEG ethers' as a broader class, concluding their safety under current use conditions and concentrations when properly formulated to be nonirritating. This assessment is considered applicable to Isosteareth-8. However, precise maximum use concentrations for Isosteareth-8 individually have not been specified. No specific safety assessment from the SCCS was found. In the United States, cosmetic ingredients are not pre-approved by the FDA, with manufacturers bearing the responsibility for product safety.
