Science
Mechanism of Action
This ingredient functions by significantly lowering the interfacial tension between oil and water phases, thereby stabilizing emulsions and maintaining the consistent texture of complex formulations. As a surfactant, it reduces surface tension on the skin's surface, which facilitates the effective removal of dirt and impurities. Additionally, UNDECETH-40 contributes to the overall conditioning of the skin, leaving it feeling soft and smooth.

Stability
As an effective emulsifying agent, UNDECETH-40 contributes to robust emulsion stability, preventing phase separation and preserving the intended consistency of oil and water-based formulations.
Safety
Safety Profile
UNDECETH-40 is an ethoxylated derivative, and the manufacturing process involving ethylene oxide can result in residual levels of ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane, both of which are classified as carcinogenic compounds. The ultimate safety profile of UNDECETH-40 is highly dependent on its purity, which, unfortunately, is information not typically provided by manufacturers on product labels.
