About Ammonium Laureth-8 Carboxylate
Ammonium Laureth-8 Carboxylate is the ammonium salt of a carboxylic acid derived from Laureth-8.[1] The number 8 at the end of the name indicates the average number of ethylene oxide units added, changing the balance between the water-attracting and oil-attracting portions and thereby affecting cleansing power, emulsification, and feel. In cosmetics, it is used to help sebum and dirt rinse away with water and to lower surface tension so raw materials wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
