LAURETH-100.

Insufficient Data / SOLVENT, SURFACTANT - CLEANSING

LAURETH-100 is a polyethylene glycol (PEG) ether of lauryl alcohol. It functions as both a solvent and a surfactant, primarily to reduce surface tension and facilitate the mixing of substances typically immiscible, such as oil and water.

Solvent Surfactant Cleansing Agent

Science

As a potent surfactant, LAURETH-100 effectively reduces the surface tension of a liquid. This property is essential for emulsification, allowing for the uniform dispersion of oil and water phases, which aids in the efficient removal of impurities and contributes to comprehensive skin cleansing.
