About C12-13 Pareth-12 Carboxylic Acid
C12-13 Pareth-12 Carboxylic Acid is an organic acid.[1] The number 12 at the end of the name refers to the average number of added ethylene oxide units; it changes the balance between the water-loving and oil-loving portions, resulting in differences in cleansing power, emulsifying ability, and skin feel. In cosmetics, it is used to help sebum and impurities wash away with water and to reduce surface tension so ingredients can wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
