PPG-2-ISODECETH-10.

Valuable CAS 155683-77-5 / SURFACTANT - CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING

PPG-2-ISODECETH-10 is a synthetic polymer primarily utilized as an emulsifier and surfactant in cosmetic formulations. It expertly bridges oil and water phases, creating stable, homogenous blends, and acts as a solubilizer for challenging ingredients.

Summary

Emulsifying Surfactant Solubilizing Cleansing Viscosity Controlling Conditioning

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient functions by reducing the interfacial tension between immiscible liquids, allowing oil and water to mix effectively. Chemically, it is a polyoxypropylene (2 units) and polyoxyethylene (10 units) ether of isodecyl alcohol. Its structure enables it to solubilize various compounds and precisely adjust the surfactant characteristics within a formulation.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Safe as used
Sensitization risk Low

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has affirmed its safety under current practices of use and concentration, provided the final product is formulated to be non-irritating. However, due to the ethoxylation process, there is a recognized potential for trace contamination with residual ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane, which are considered undesirable by-products for this class of ingredients.
