About Sodium Laureth-16 Carboxylate
Sodium Laureth-16 Carboxylate is the sodium salt of the carboxylic acid derived from Laureth-16.[1] The number 16 at the end of the name indicates the average number of added ethylene oxide units. It changes the balance between water-loving and oil-loving parts, resulting in differences in cleansing, emulsifying ability, and sensory feel. In cosmetics, it is used to help sebum and impurities wash away with water and to lower surface tension so raw materials wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
