PPG-10 LAURYL ETHER.

Valuable CAS 9064-14-6

PPG-10 Lauryl Ether is a highly stable, non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier. It is crucial for formulating stable oil-in-water emulsions, enhancing product texture, and improving the absorption of other active ingredients.

Summary

Emulsifying Solubilizing Skin Conditioning Surfactant Emollient Solvent

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient functions by reducing the surface tension between immiscible liquids, acting as an emulsifier to stabilize oil and water phases into cohesive formulations. As a solubilizer, it aids in dispersing lipophilic compounds within aqueous systems. Additionally, it conditions the skin, improving its feel and supporting the penetration of other beneficial ingredients.
