About Sodium Laureth-5 Carboxylate

Sodium Laureth-5 Carboxylate is the sodium salt of the carboxylic acid of Laureth-5.[1] The number 5 at the end of the name indicates the average number of ethylene oxide units added; it changes the balance between the water-attracting and oil-attracting portions, resulting in differences in cleansing power, emulsifying ability, and sensory feel. In cosmetics, it is used to help sebum and dirt wash away with water, form foam during use, and lower surface tension so raw materials can wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
