About Sodium C10-16 Pareth-2 Sulfate

Sodium C10-16 Pareth-2 Sulfate is the sodium salt of sulfated polyethylene glycol ethers of a synthetic mixture of C10-16 fatty alcohols.[1] The number 2 at the end of the name indicates the average number of added ethylene oxide units; it changes the balance between the water-loving and fat-loving portions, resulting in differences in cleansing power, emulsifying ability, and feel. In cosmetics, it is used to help sebum and impurities wash away with water, increase the amount of foam and help it last longer, and reduce surface tension so raw materials can wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
