About Laureth-1

Laureth-1 is the ethylene glycol ether of lauryl alcohol.[1] The number 1 at the end of the name refers to the average number of added ethylene oxide units. It changes the balance between water-attracting and oil-attracting parts, resulting in differences in cleansing power, emulsifying ability, and sensory feel. In cosmetics, it is used to create emulsified formulations in which water and oil are evenly mixed, and to lower surface tension so ingredients wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
