About Oleth-5
Oleth-5 is the polyethylene glycol ether of oleyl alcohol.[1] The number 5 at the end of the name indicates the average number of ethylene oxide units added. It changes the balance between the water-loving and oil-loving parts, resulting in differences in cleansing ability, emulsifying properties, and skin feel. In cosmetics, it is used to create emulsified formulas in which water and oil are evenly mixed.[2]
