About Oleth-3 Phosphate

Oleth-3 Phosphate is a complex mixture of esters of phosphoric acid and Oleth-3.[1] The number 3 at the end of the name refers to the average number of added ethylene oxide units; it changes the balance between water-loving and oil-loving portions, resulting in differences in cleansing power, emulsifying ability, and sensory feel. In cosmetics, it is used to lower surface tension so ingredients can wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
