About Sodium C12-13 Pareth-2 Phosphate

Sodium C12-13 Pareth-2 Phosphate is the sodium salt of a complex mixture of esters of phosphoric acid and C12-13 Pareth-2.[1] The number 2 at the end of the name refers to the average number of added ethylene oxide units. It changes the balance between the water-attracting and oil-attracting parts, resulting in differences in cleansing power, emulsifying ability, and feel. In cosmetics, it is used to help sebum and impurities wash away with water and to lower surface tension so that raw materials can wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
