SODIUM C14-15 PARETH-8 CARBOXYLATE.

Insufficient Data CAS 119147-76-1 / CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING

This ingredient functions as a versatile surfactant, expertly reducing the surface tension of liquids to facilitate the stable blending of oil and water. It primarily serves as an effective cleansing agent, aiding in the removal of fats and particulate impurities from the skin, and as an emulsifier to stabilize cosmetic formulations.

Summary

Surfactant Cleansing Agent Emulsifier

Science

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.

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.
