About Oleth-6 Carboxylic Acid
Oleth-6 Carboxylic Acid is an organic acid.[1] The number 6 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 help sebum and impurities rinse away with water and to reduce surface tension so ingredients can wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
