Laureth 1

1. Definition Laureth 1:

Laureth 1 is a surfactant and emulsifying agent commonly used in cosmetics and personal care products. It is a polyethylene glycol ether of lauryl alcohol.

2. Use:

Laureth 1 is primarily used as an emulsifier in cosmetics, helping to blend oil and water-based ingredients together. It also acts as a surfactant, helping to reduce the surface tension of liquids and improve the spreadability and texture of products.

3. Usage Laureth 1:

Laureth 1 is commonly found in a variety of skincare products, such as creams, lotions, and cleansers. It helps to stabilize formulations and create smooth, creamy textures. It is generally considered safe for use in cosmetics, but like all ingredients, it is important to follow recommended usage levels to avoid potential irritation or sensitization.

Precautions: While Laureth 1 is considered safe for use in cosmetics, some individuals may be sensitive to this ingredient. It is always recommended to perform a patch test before using a product containing Laureth 1, especially if you have sensitive skin or a history of reactions to skincare products.
