About Laureth-2 Ethylhexanoate
Laureth-2 Ethylhexanoate is an ester formed from portions derived from an acid and an alcohol.[1] The number 2 at the end of the name indicates the average number of added ethylene oxide units. It changes the balance between water-loving and oil-loving portions, resulting in differences in cleansing, emulsifying ability, and skin feel. In cosmetics, it is used to reduce friction on the skin or hair and add a smooth feel, to leave the skin surface feeling soft and smooth, and to lower surface tension so raw materials wet, mix, and spread evenly.[1]
