Insufficient Data CAS 61791-28-4 (generic) / SURFACTANT - CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING

TALLOWETH-5 is an ethoxylated tallow alcohol, primarily valued in cosmetic science for its dual role as an emulsifier and surfactant. It is designed to stabilize disparate oil and water phases, thereby creating homogenous and texturally superior product formulations.

Summary

emulsifier surfactant

Science

Mechanism of Action

Functioning as an emulsifier, TALLOWETH-5 lowers the interfacial tension between immiscible liquids, forming stable emulsions crucial for uniform product consistency. As a surfactant, it decreases the surface tension of a formulation, which facilitates even distribution and enhanced spreadability upon application to the skin.
