Laureth-4

Description :

Overview of Laureth-4

Laureth-4 is a non-ionic surfactant and solubilising agent widely used in personal care and home care formulations for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and cleansing support properties. It is an ethoxylated fatty alcohol derived from lauryl alcohol and typically appears as a clear to slightly hazy liquid.

In personal care products, Laureth-4 is valued for its ability to solubilise oils, fragrances, and active ingredients, while also supporting gentle cleansing performance. It is commonly used in facial cleansers, makeup removers, cleansing oils, micellar waters, shampoos, body washes, and exfoliating products. Laureth-4 helps reduce oil-water interfacial tension, improving rinse-off and product clarity. It is often formulated alongside Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Alkyl Polyglycoside, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, and Trideceth-12 for balanced cleansing systems.

In home care applications, Laureth-4 is used in surface cleaners, degreasers, and speciality cleaning formulations, where effective oil solubilization and wetting are required.

ChemicalBull supplies quality-grade Laureth-4 suitable for personal care and home care manufacturing, ensuring consistent ethoxylation, reliable solubilization, and dependable bulk supply.
