About Sodium Butoxynol-12 Sulfate

Sodium Butoxynol-12 Sulfate is the sodium salt of the sulfuric acid ester of an alkoxylated phenol.[1] Its solubility and charge state depend on the components forming the salt and the formula’s acidity, which also affects how it interacts with other raw materials. In cosmetics, it is used to make emulsions in which water and oil are evenly mixed, and to reduce surface tension so ingredients wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
