About Oleth-2 Benzoate

Oleth-2 Benzoate is the ester of Oleth-2 and benzoic acid.[1] The number 2 at the end of the name indicates the average number of ethylene oxide units added; it changes the balance between the water-attracting and oil-attracting portions, resulting in differences in cleansing ability, emulsifying ability, and skin feel. In cosmetics, it is used to reduce friction on the skin or hair and provide a smooth feel, and to leave the skin surface soft and smooth.[2]
