MEROXAPOL 314.

Insufficient Data CAS 9003-11-6 / CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING

MEROXAPOL 314 is a symmetrical block copolymer engineered to function as both a surfactant and an emulsifier. This dual capability allows it to effectively combine disparate substances, such as oil and water, into stable formulations and enhance cleansing properties.

Summary

emulsifying surfactant/cleansing

Science

Mechanism of Action

Composed of precisely structured ethylene oxide and propylene oxide units, MEROXAPOL 314 meticulously reduces the surface tension of liquids. This action facilitates the formation of stable, finely dispersed emulsions, crucial for blending immiscible ingredients. Furthermore, its surfactant properties enable the efficient suspension and removal of fat and soil particles from skin and hair, supporting thorough cleansing.

Stability

While specific stability data for MEROXAPOL 314 is not extensively detailed, related PEO-PPO-PEO copolymers, often known as Pluronics, have demonstrated efficacy in stabilizing liposomal structures, particularly at mildly acidic pH values around 5. This suggests potential for stability in similar pH ranges, although direct validation for MEROXAPOL 314 would be beneficial.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Not reviewed
Sensitization risk Unknown

MEROXAPOL 314 is referenced within a Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) opinion, primarily for nomenclature corrections related to poloxamers and meroxapols, identifying its function as an emulsifier/surfactant. However, a dedicated, comprehensive safety assessment or specific maximum concentration recommendations by either the SCCS or the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) panel were not found in the available research.
