About C12-15 Pareth-12 Carboxylic Acid
C12-15 Pareth-12 Carboxylic Acid is an organic acid.[1] The number 12 at the end of the name refers to the average number of ethylene oxide units added. It changes the balance between the water-attracting and oil-attracting parts, resulting in differences in cleansing and emulsifying performance and feel. In cosmetics, it is used to help sebum and impurities rinse away with water and to lower surface tension so raw materials wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
