SODIUM CAPRYLETH-2 CARBOXYLATE.

Insufficient Data CAS 126646-15-9 / SURFACTANT - CLEANSING

SODIUM CAPRYLETH-2 CARBOXYLATE is a carboxylate-based surfactant designed to reduce surface tension. It functions effectively as a cleansing and foaming agent, making it suitable for various rinse-off cosmetic formulations.

Summary

Surfactant Cleansing Foaming

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient operates by lowering the surface tension between disparate substances, such as oil and water. This surfactant activity enables efficient cleaning by emulsifying dirt and oils, allowing them to be easily rinsed from the skin. Concurrently, it contributes to the development of a rich, stable foam in product applications.

Stability

As an ionic sodium salt of a carboxylic acid, SODIUM CAPRYLETH-2 CARBOXYLATE demonstrates high water solubility. Optimal stability and performance are generally achieved within a pH range of 6.0 to 8.0, consistent with similar carboxylate compounds.

Synergies

  • Compatible with a wide range of anionic, cationic, and amphoteric surfactants, facilitating versatile co-formulations.

Conflicts

  • Potential incompatibility with highly alkaline conditions (pH > 9) when combined with certain excipients, such as croscarmellose sodium, which may lead to slowed dissolution due to ester cross-link hydrolysis.

Our Assessment

Verdict

Insufficient Data

While SODIUM CAPRYLETH-2 CARBOXYLATE functions as an effective cleansing and foaming agent suitable for all skin types, a definitive Moumoujus rating is currently precluded by the absence of comprehensive safety and clinical efficacy data from official regulatory bodies.
