Laureth-2

The details

Laureth-2 is a synthetic surfactant that has cleansing and emulsifying properties. It is commonly used to blend oil and water, help improve cleansing, and add foam. Like other surfactants, laureth-2 works by reducing surface tension to help dirt, sebum, and other impurities be washed away easily. This ingredient has low risk of irritation when properly formulated. However, some individuals with sensitive skin may still experience mild irritation.
