Oleth-20 is a super hydrophilic nonionic solubilizer and universal emulsifier, which belongs to the ethoxylated fatty alcohol derivative. It is specially developed for high-end transparent personal care formulas, integrating excellent solubilization, emulsification, stabilization, dispersion, wetting and mild conditioning properties. Oleth-20 can efficiently solubilize fragrances, essential oils, oil-soluble actives and plant extracts into clear aqueous systems, form highly transparent, uniform and long-term stable products, effectively prevent delamination, turbidity and precipitation, while bringing a refreshing, non-sticky, light and smooth skin feel. It has excellent compatibility with anionic, cationic, nonionic and amphoteric surfactants, stable performance in a wide pH range from acidic to weakly alkaline, and can significantly improve the transparency, stability and application experience of products, with excellent mildness and safety. It is a high-efficiency multifunctional solubilizer and emulsifier widely used in high-end clear shampoo, transparent care, hair serum, fragrance care, baby care and cosmetic products.
