About C12-14 Sec-Pareth-7

C12-14 Sec-Pareth-7 is the polyethylene glycol ether of a mixture of synthetic secondary fatty alcohols with carbon chain lengths of C12-14 and an average of 7 moles of ethylene oxide.[1] The number 7 at the end of the name refers to the average number of added ethylene oxide units. It changes the balance between water-loving and oil-loving parts, resulting in differences in cleansing power, emulsifying ability, and feel. In cosmetics, it is used to create emulsified formulas in which water and oil are evenly mixed, help prevent separation of the emulsified water-and-oil state, and lower surface tension so raw materials can wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
