Octyldodeceth-30 is a chemical compound, octyldodecyl ether, 8 carbon chains β-substituted 12 carbon chains with a variable PEG (Polyethylene glycol), ethoxylated. Branched.

Safety. The term 'eth' refers to the ethoxylation reaction with ethylene oxide after which residues of ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane, chemical compounds considered carcinogenic, may remain. The degree of safety therefore depends on the degree of purity of the compound obtained. At present, no manufacturer is known to provide this information on the label.

What it is used for and where

Cosmetics

Surfactant - Emulsifying agent. Emulsions are thermodynamically unstable. Emulsifiers have the property to reduce the oil/water or water/oil interfacial tension, improve emulsion stability and also directly influence the stability, sensory properties and surface tension even of solar filters, modulating the filmometric performance.
