SODIUM TRIDECETH-15 CARBOXYLATE.

Insufficient Data CAS 61757-59-3 / 68891-17-8 / CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - CLEANSING

SODIUM TRIDECETH-15 CARBOXYLATE is an anionic surfactant primarily utilized in skincare for its effective cleansing, foaming, and emulsifying capabilities. It works by reducing surface tension, which enables the removal of dirt and impurities from the skin. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has assessed it as safe, provided products are formulated to be non-irritating.

Summary

Cleansing Foaming Emulsifying Surfactant

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient operates as a surfactant, significantly lowering the surface tension between liquids such as oil and water. This action facilitates their mixing and dispersion, thereby aiding in the emulsification of substances and the efficient removal of dirt and impurities from the skin's surface. It also contributes to the formation of stable foam in cleansing products.

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel evaluated 'Trideceth ingredients,' including Trideceth-15, concluding they are safe for cosmetic use when products are formulated to be non-irritating. Improper formulation may lead to skin irritation. Trace amounts of 1,4-dioxane, a byproduct of ethoxylation, may be present but can be controlled through purification. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) permits Trideceth ingredients (polyoxyethylated tridecyl alcohol) for use as indirect food additives. No specific SCCS opinion for SODIUM TRIDECETH-15 CARBOXYLATE has been found.
