Laureth-10

Laureth-10 is a non-ionic surfactant derived from lauryl alcohol, a fatty alcohol obtained from coconut oil or palm kernel oil. It functions as an emulsifier, surfactant, and solubilizer in cosmetic and personal care formulations. Laureth-10 is often used to enhance the texture and consistency of products, helping to improve their stability, foaming properties, and spreadability. It is also effective in solubilizing essential oils and other oil-based ingredients in water-based formulations.

Key Benefits

✔ Effective emulsifier and surfactant, improving product stability
✔ Helps solubilize oils, ensuring even dispersion in water-based formulas
✔ Improves the texture and feel of creams, lotions, and other personal care products
✔ Enhances foam production, providing a rich lather in shampoos and cleansers
✔ Mild and non-irritating, suitable for sensitive skin

How to Use

• Typically added to the water phase or mixed into formulations during the emulsification process.
• Recommended usage: 1-5%, depending on the formulation and desired effect.
