About Cetyl C12-15 Pareth-8 Carboxylate

Cetyl C12-15 Pareth-8 Carboxylate is an ester of cetyl alcohol and C12-15 Pareth-8 carboxylic acid.[1] The number 8 at the end of the name refers to the average number of ethylene oxide units added; it changes the balance between water-loving and oil-loving portions, resulting in differences in cleansing ability, emulsifying ability, and sensory feel. In cosmetics, it is used to reduce friction on the skin or hair and add a smooth feel, and to leave the skin surface feeling soft and smooth.[2]
