About Octoxynol-9

Octoxynol-9 is an ethoxylated alkylphenol.[1] Its properties and feel in the finished product may vary depending on the concentration used, the ingredients used with it, the formula's acidity, and the manufacturing conditions. In cosmetics, it is used to create emulsified formulas in which water and oil are evenly mixed, and to lower surface tension so ingredients can wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
