Ethoxylated alcohol formulas such as Lauryl Alcohol are classified as surfactants, which means they reduce surface tension in a liquid, or between a liquid and a solid.
As with all types of ethoxylated alcohol, Lauryl Alcohol Ethoxylate is a nonionic compound.
Laureth-7 has no electrical charge on the hydrophilic end and generally takes the form of a thick liquid that is often sticky to the touch.

Laureth-7 is produced through a process known as ethoxylation, a chemical reaction in which ethylene oxide is added to a substrate.
In this case, the substrate is lauryl alcohol.
Lauryl alcohol is obtained from lauric acid, a saturated fatty acid with a 12-carbon atom chain that can be found in palm kernel oil or coconut oil.
The number associated with the Laureth-7 indicates the average number of repeating ethylene oxide units in the molecule.
As the numerical value of laureth ingredients increases, the thickness or viscosity increases until they become white, waxy solids.

Small amounts of 1,4-dioxane, a by-product of ethoxylation, may be found in Laureth-7.
The potential presence of this material is well known and can be controlled through purification steps to remove it.
Our product has been purified and contains no 1,4-dioxane (0 ppm).
As a surfactant, Laureth-7 works by lowering the surface tension between two substances, such as two liquids or a liquid and a solid.
A surfactant molecule contains one end that is hydrophilic or attracted to water and one end that is lipophilic or attracted to oil.
This allows surfactants to attract and suspends oils, dirt, and other impurities that have accumulated on the skin and wash them away.
Due to these properties, Laureth-7 can be found in many different cleansers and body washes.

Lauric acid is a saturated fatty acid with a 12-carbon chain that is found in palm kernel oil or coconut oil.
The number associated with the laureth product indicates the average number of repeating ethylene oxide units in the molecule.
Laureth-7 is both clear, colorless liquids, but as the numerical value of laureth ingredients increases, the viscosity increases until they eventually become white, waxy solids.
Emulsification is another function performed by Laureth-7.
Emulsifiers are required for formulations containing both water and oil components to prevent the two phases from separating if the product is left to settle.
Emulsifiers like Laureth-7 will help oil droplets remain dispersed, improving consistency and enabling an even distribution of topical skin care benefits.
