OLETH-82.

Insufficient Data CAS 9004-98-2 / CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - CLEANSING

OLETH-82 is a polyoxyethylene ether of oleyl alcohol, primarily employed in cosmetic formulations as a surfactant and emulsifier. It functions to decrease the surface tension of liquids, enabling the stable incorporation of immiscible components like oil and water, thus contributing to product texture and stability.

Surfactant Cleansing Agent Emulsifier Fragrance Functional Ingredient

Science

Mechanism of Action

As a surfactant, OLETH-82 scientifically acts by reducing the interfacial tension between diverse liquid phases, such as oil and water. This molecular interaction allows for the creation of stable emulsions, where oil and water can mix homogeneously, enhancing product consistency and performance as a cleansing and fragrance functional ingredient.
