About Laureth-3 Carboxylic Acid
Laureth-3 Carboxylic Acid is a compound containing an acidic group.[1] The number 3 at the end of the name indicates the average number of ethylene oxide units added; it changes the balance between water-loving and oil-loving portions, resulting in differences in cleansing power, emulsifying ability, and sensory feel. In cosmetics, it is used to help sebum and impurities wash away with water, create emulsions in which water and oil are evenly mixed, and lower surface tension so ingredients wet, mix, and spread evenly.[1]
