Product Description
TRI (LAURETH-4) PHOSPHATE is a phosphate ester derived from lauryl alcohol and ethylene oxide. It is commonly used as an emulsifier, surfactant, and solubilizer in cosmetic formulations. This ingredient helps to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions and enhances the texture and feel of products.
It is a very effective pre-neutralized anionic O/W emulsifier, suitable for challenging formulas that require stability and comfortable skin feel. It is also highly suitable for low viscosity textures, such as sprays and lotions, derived from plants and commonly used in cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. Its high HLB value allows the manufacture of lotions with polar oil esters and UV filters.
