SODIUM TRIDECETH-6 CARBOXYLATE.

Valuable CAS 61757-59-3 / 68891-17-8 / CLEANSING, FOAMING, SURFACTANT - CLEANSING

Sodium Trideceth-6 Carboxylate functions as an anionic surfactant, primarily valued for its cleansing and foaming capabilities in water-based cosmetic formulations. It effectively reduces surface tension, allowing for the stable combination of typically immiscible oil and water phases.

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient operates by significantly lowering the surface tension of liquids, thereby facilitating the emulsification of oil-based impurities with water. This mechanism allows it to bind to and lift dirt, excess sebum, and makeup from the skin's surface, ensuring efficient removal during rinsing.
