Mechanism of Action
SODIUM C14-15 PARETH-8 CARBOXYLATE operates by significantly lowering the interfacial tension between disparate liquid phases, enabling the efficient dispersion of hydrophobic and hydrophilic components within a formula. This action is crucial for dissolving and lifting lipid-based impurities during cleansing and for creating and maintaining stable oil-in-water emulsions.

Safety Profile
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has determined that C14-15 Pareth-8 (the non-carboxylate alcohol ethoxylate) is safe for use in current practices and concentrations, provided it is formulated to be non-irritating. However, for SODIUM C14-15 PARETH-8 CARBOXYLATE specifically, the CIR status is currently 'insufficient data,' and it is 'not rated' by Paula's Choice, indicating a dedicated, publicly available safety assessment for this carboxylate form is pending or underway.
