About C10-16 Pareth-2

C10-16 Pareth-2 is an individual ingredient used in cosmetic formulations.[1] The number 2 at the end of the name indicates the average number of ethylene oxide units added. It changes the balance between the water-loving and oil-loving parts, affecting cleansing ability, emulsifying ability, and skin feel. In cosmetics, it is used to help sebum and impurities wash away with water and to lower surface tension so ingredients can wet, mix, and spread evenly.[1]
