NONYL NONOXYNOL-24 PHOSPHATE.

Avoid CAS 39464-64-7 / CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - CLEANSING

NONYL NONOXYNOL-24 PHOSPHATE functions as a nonionic surfactant, effectively reducing surface tension within cosmetic formulations. This property allows it to serve as a key emulsifying agent and contribute to the cleansing efficacy of various personal care products.

Summary

Surfactant Emulsifying Agent

Science

Mechanism of Action

Operating as a nonionic surfactant, NONYL NONOXYNOL-24 PHOSPHATE primarily functions by decreasing the surface tension at the interface of immiscible liquids, such as oil and water. This molecular action enables the stabilization of emulsions, preventing phase separation, and enhances the solubilization of hydrophobic materials, thereby facilitating effective cleansing.

While the CIR Expert Panel concluded that various Nonoxynols, including higher ethoxylation variants, are safe for use in cosmetics at prevailing concentrations, noting quantitative rather than qualitative toxicological differences based on absorption, the European Union has enacted a comprehensive ban on nonoxynols in cosmetic products. Furthermore, manufacturers bear the responsibility of ensuring that unreacted nonylphenol content in finished formulations does not reach toxic concentrations.

Our Assessment

Verdict

Avoid

Despite the CIR Expert Panel's classification of 'safe as used' for certain nonoxynols, the European Union's outright ban on these compounds in cosmetics, coupled with concerns regarding unreacted nonylphenol, renders NONYL NONOXYNOL-24 PHOSPHATE an unsuitable ingredient for Moumoujus's precision formulations.
