About Laureth-4 Phosphate
Laureth-4 Phosphate is a complex mixture of esters of phosphoric acid and Laureth-4.[1] The number 4 at the end of the name indicates the average number of ethylene oxide units added. This changes the balance between the water-loving and oil-loving portions, resulting in differences in cleansing power, emulsifying ability, and skin feel. In cosmetics, it is used to help sebum and impurities rinse away with water, to create emulsified formulas in which water and oil are evenly mixed, and to reduce surface tension so ingredients can wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
