SODIUM DIOLETH-8 PHOSPHATE.

Valuable / CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING

SODIUM DIOLETH-8 PHOSPHATE is a highly functional ingredient that serves as a surfactant, emulsifier, and cleansing agent in cosmetic formulations. Its ability to reduce surface tension is critical for blending immiscible liquids and for effective skin purification.

Summary

surfactant/cleansing emulsifying dispersing

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient operates by lowering the surface tension between different phases, allowing for the stable combination of oil and water to form emulsions. In cleansing products, this property enables it to encapsulate and facilitate the removal of lipid-soluble impurities and environmental particles from the skin's surface. It also functions as a dispersing agent.
