SODIUM C12-15 PARETH-7 CARBOXYLATE.

Insufficient Data CAS 70632-06-3 / CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING

SODIUM C12-15 PARETH-7 CARBOXYLATE is a synthetic surfactant designed to function as both a cleansing agent and an emulsifier. It efficiently mixes oil and water to facilitate the removal of impurities and stabilizes multi-phase cosmetic formulations.

Summary

Cleansing Agent Emulsifier Surfactant

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient acts as a surfactant, actively reducing the interfacial tension between diverse components, such as oil and water. It effectively encapsulates hydrophobic substances like dirt and sebum within a hydrophilic phase, enabling their easy dispersion and rinsing. Additionally, its amphiphilic structure allows for the creation and stabilization of emulsions, preventing separation of immiscible liquids in products.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Insufficient data
Sensitization risk Unknown

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) has categorized SODIUM C12-15 PARETH-7 CARBOXYLATE with insufficient data for a comprehensive safety assessment. While the CIR has evaluated broader classes of ethoxylated alcohol sulfates as safe when non-irritating, this conclusion does not directly apply. The Environmental Working Group (EWG) flags a closely related compound, SODIUM C11-15 PARETH-7 CARBOXYLATE, as 'RESTRICTED', noting concerns such as potential acute aquatic toxicity and possible effects on the digestive and nervous systems. Additionally, the EWG indicates 'No Data' for skin allergies, irritation, and developmental toxicity for this related ingredient, and highlights unassessed skin/eye/lung irritation for the non-carboxylate C12-15 Pareth-7.

Verdict

Insufficient Data

As a functional cleansing and emulsifying surfactant, SODIUM C12-15 PARETH-7 CARBOXYLATE requires further investigation as comprehensive safety data, especially concerning skin compatibility and long-term systemic effects, is currently insufficient.
