IUPAC NAME: 2-[2-[2-[2-[2-[2-(2-dodecoxyethoxy)ethoxy]ethoxy]ethoxy]ethoxy]ethoxy]ethanol

Laureth-7 is form of lauryl alcohol (a non-sensitizing fatty alcohol derived from coconut oil) that can function as a cleansing agent and texture enhancer.
Laureth-7 as an Emulsifier contains molecules that have at least 2 distinct sides, (typically) one side that is compatible with water, and one side that is compatible with oils or waxy materials.
Laureth-7 is added to cosmetic products to enable the mix of non-mixable liquids to make them compatible and stable over time.

Laureth-7 as a Surfactant (Surface active) is an organic compound which helps to reduce surface tension of substances to be mixed or emulsified.
An example in cosmetics is the skin or hair cleansing property: water can be mixed with oil, sebum and dirt so that they can be rinsed away.

Laureth-7 is a polyethylene glycol-based surfactant
Laureth-7 may contain potentially toxic impurities such as 1,4-dioxane.

Laureth-7 is a synthetic ingredient that helps to improve the texture and feel of skincare and cosmetic products.
Laureth-7 mainly functions as an emulsifier and surfactant in formulations.

Laureth-7 is synthesized 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.
Laureth-7 is obtained from 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.
Laureth-7 exists in the form of a clear, colorless liquid.
Laureth-7 improves the texture and stability of skincare and cosmetic formulations.

Laureth-7 functions as an emulsifier and surfactant in many different cosmetics and personal care products, including:
-cream rinses
-conditioners
-bath oils
-creams
-lotions
-deodorants
-shaving products

Surfactant:
Surfactants are ingredinets that lower the surface tension between two substances, such as two liquids or a liquid and a solid.
In skin care products, surfactants work to degrease and emulsify oils and fats and suspend soil, allowing them to be washed away.

This is possible because while one end of the surfactant molecule is attracted to water, the other end is attracted to oil.
Thus, surfactants attract the oil, dirt, and other impurities that have accumulated on your skin during the day and wash them away.
Due to these properties, Laureth-7 can be found in many different cleansers and body washes.

Emulsifier:
Laureth-7 also functions as an emulsifier.
An emulsifier is needed for products that contain both water and oil-based ingredients.
When water and oil-based ingredients are mixed together they often will separate and split. To address this problem, an emulsifier can be added to the system, which helps to produce a stable emulsion.

Laureth-7 is obtained from palm kernel oil or coconut oil.

Laureth-7 can be stored for at least 2 years under recommended conditions at room temperature in original closed containers.
Laureth-7 will cloud, darken, or freeze on exposure to cold, thaw slowly at room temperature and then briefly stirred.

Laureth-7 is used as emulsifier, solubilizer, oil dispersing and dissolving agent, thickener for anionic liquid formulations.
Laureth-7 is a fatty alcohol suitable for the production of heavy-duty and specialty laundry detergents and hard surface cleaners.

Because of its viscosity-increasing properties, Laureth-7 is used as a thickener in cosmetic surfactant preparations such as shampoos, shower preparations and bubble baths.
The product is used as a thickener in cosmetic surfactant formulations due to its viscosity-increasing properties.

Laureth-7 helps to reduce the surface tension of substances to be mixed or emulsified as a surfactant.
In cosmetics, Laureth-7 helps water mix with oil, sebum, and dirt so it can be easily rinsed off.
Also, as a thickener, Laureth-7 helps to adjust the thickness of detergent products.

Laureth-7 uses and applications include:
-surfactant for cosmetics,
-emulsifier,
-foaming agent,
-super lubricating agent);
-solvent for solvents;
-base for the production of sulfates;
-washing dishes,
-raw materials for cleaning agents and cold cleaners;
-emulsion polymerization;
-conical and textile spin finishes;
-thickener,
-emulsifier,
-solvent for pharmaceuticals

The products of the Lauryl Alcohol ethoxylate series are fatty alcohol polyethylene glycol ethers.
Laureth-7 belongs to the class of nonionic surfactants.

Laureth-7 is prepared from a natural-based C12-C14 fatty alcohol
Therefore, they are excellent candidates for use in consumer products such as green and environmentally friendly cleaners.

In general, Laureth-7 is characterized by the following features:
• High surface activity and cleaning power
• Synergistic effects with other surfactants
• Good hard water stability
• Chemical stability over a wide pH range
• Produced from a natural-based, renewable raw material
• Low environmental impact as a result of rapid and complete biodegradation

These favorable and widespread properties have opened up many applications for Laureth-7 as well.
Laureth-7 is effective in detergents and cleaners as well as personal care products or technical applications.
