About Potassium Laureth-5 Carboxylate
Potassium Laureth-5 Carboxylate is the potassium salt of Laureth-5 Carboxylic Acid.[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 portions, resulting in differences in cleansing ability, emulsifying ability, and feel. In cosmetics, it is used to lower surface tension so ingredients can wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
