SORBETH-6 LAURATE.

Insufficient Data CAS - / SURFACTANT - CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING

Sorbeth-6 Laurate is a nonionic, hydrophilic ingredient primarily functioning as a surfactant and emulsifying agent in cosmetic formulations. It facilitates the stable blending of immiscible oil and water phases, and aids in the removal of impurities from the skin.

Summary

Emulsifying Surfactant Cleansing Agent

Science

Mechanism of Action

This compound operates by significantly lowering the surface tension between lipid and aqueous components, enabling them to form homogenous and stable emulsions. As a cleansing agent, it assists water in solubilizing and lifting oily residues and dirt from the skin or hair surface, allowing for effective rinse-off.

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Safe with restrictions
Sensitization risk Unknown

The CIR Expert Panel concluded that polysorbates, the chemical class Sorbeth-6 Laurate belongs to, are generally safe as cosmetic ingredients when appropriately formulated to be nonirritating. However, Sorbeth-6 Laurate is specifically noted as 'not reported to be in current use' in a CIR report concerning polysorbates, and no specific FDA or SCCS status was found.

Verdict

Insufficient Data

As a fundamental surfactant and emulsifier, Sorbeth-6 Laurate's potential is noted, but the lack of specific usage data, unknown irritancy, and its designation as 'not reported to be in current use' warrant caution for precision formulations.
