POTASSIUM TRIDECETH-19 CARBOXYLATE.

Insufficient Data CAS - / SURFACTANT - CLEANSING

This ingredient functions as a primary cleansing agent and surfactant in skincare formulations. It effectively reduces surface tension, facilitating the emulsification of oil and water for thorough and efficient removal of impurities from the skin.

Summary

cleansing foaming surfactant

Science

Mechanism of Action

As a surfactant, Potassium Trideceth-19 Carboxylate operates by reducing the surface tension between liquid phases. This action allows oil and water to mix more readily, enabling the formation of micelles that encapsulate dirt and oils, which can then be easily rinsed away.

Stability

Carboxylate salts, particularly potassium salts of carboxylic acids, generally exhibit high solubility in aqueous solutions. The charge and interactive properties of the carboxyl groups are pH-dependent; elevated pH levels lead to deprotonation, enhancing electrostatic repulsion and influencing overall formulation stability.
