About Sodium C12-13 Pareth-8 Carboxylate

Sodium C12-13 Pareth-8 Carboxylate is the sodium salt of C12-13 Pareth-8 carboxylic acid.[1] The number 8 at the end of the name indicates the average number of added ethylene oxide units. It changes the balance between the water-loving and oil-loving parts, resulting in differences in cleansing power, emulsifying ability, and feel during use. In cosmetics, it is used to help sebum and impurities rinse away with water, create emulsions in which water and oil are evenly mixed, and lower surface tension so ingredients can wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
