PALMETH-2.

Valuable / SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING

Palmeth-2 is a versatile ingredient primarily utilized in cosmetic formulations for its surfactant and emulsifying properties. It helps integrate diverse components, creating stable oil-in-water emulsions, and contributes to the overall cleansing efficacy of products.

Summary

Surfactant Emulsifier Cleansing Agent

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient functions by reducing the surface tension between immiscible liquids, such as oil and water, enabling their stable dispersion within a formulation. As an emulsifier, it stabilizes these mixtures, preventing separation over time. Its surfactant capabilities also allow it to effectively solubilize and remove impurities from the skin.
