Science
Mechanism of Action
This ingredient functions by significantly lowering the surface tension of liquids. This property facilitates the stable dispersion of typically immiscible phases, such as oil and water, thereby forming and stabilizing emulsions in skincare formulations.

Stability
Given its ethoxylated structure with 7 ethylene oxide units, TALLOWETH-7 is expected to be water-soluble or dispersible. While no specific optimal pH range for its stability is documented, analogous ingredients like Laureth-7 show stability within a pH range of 6.0-7.0.
Safety
Safety Profile
TALLOWETH-7 currently lacks a specific safety assessment from the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) panel. While related substances like Tallow and Tallow Glyceride have been reviewed by CIR, and Tallow in certain food packaging is classified as GRAS by the FDA, a direct safety profile for TALLOWETH-7 in cosmetics is not established. Manufacturers bear the responsibility for ensuring the safety of cosmetic products containing this ingredient.
