DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.

Hydroxyethylbutylamine laureth sulfate is a substance which is used in cosmetic formulations as a surfactant (washing-active substance). Furthermore, the substance has a cleansing effect (cleans the body surface).

Note(s)This section has been translated automatically.

The polyoxyethylene ethers of lauryl alcohol are called laurethe (for comparison see: cetethe as polyoxyethylene ether of cetyl alcohol; stearethe as polyoxyethylene ether of stearyl alcohol and others). Polyalkylene glycol ethers are non-ionic surfactants, the lipophilic part of which consists of fatty alcohols (e.g. lauryl alcohol, palmitic alcohol, stearyl alcohols etc.). The hydrophilic part is formed by short-chain polyethylene glycols (polyoxyethylene).
