About Sodium C12-13 Pareth-5 Carboxylate
Sodium C12-13 Pareth-5 Carboxylate is the sodium salt of C12-13 Pareth-5 Carboxylic Acid.[1] The number 5 at the end of the name refers to the average number of ethylene oxide units added. It changes the balance between water-loving and oil-loving portions, resulting in differences in cleansing power, emulsifying ability, and sensory feel. In cosmetics, it is used to help sebum and impurities wash away with water, make emulsions in which water and oil are evenly mixed, and reduce surface tension so ingredients wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
