About Laureth-5 Carboxylic Acid

Laureth-5 Carboxylic Acid is an organic acid, with n typically averaging 4.[1] The number 5 at the end of the name indicates the average number of added ethylene oxide units, changing the balance between the water-loving and oil-loving portions and creating differences in cleansing, emulsifying performance, and sensory feel. In cosmetics, it is used to help sebum and impurities be washed away with water, to create emulsions in which water and oil are evenly mixed, and to lower surface tension so raw materials can wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
