About Octoxynol-11

Octoxynol-11 is an ethoxylated alkylphenol.[1] Its properties and sensory feel in a finished product may vary depending on the formulation concentration, the ingredients used with it, the formula's acidity, and manufacturing conditions. In cosmetics, it is used to create emulsions in which water and oil are evenly mixed and to reduce surface tension so raw materials can wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
