The polyoxyethylene ethers of synthetic fatty alcohols are called "pareth" (for comparison see: laurethe as polyoxyethylene ether of lauryl alcohol; steareth as polyoxyethylene ether of stearyl alcohol, etc.).

Polyalkylene glycol ethers are non-ionic surfactants whose lipophilic part consists of fatty alcohols (e.g. lauryl alcohol, palmitic alcohol, stearyl alcohols etc.). The hydrophilic part is formed by short-chain polyethylene glycols (polyoxyethylene). In the designation of fatty alcohol polyglycol ethers, the inserted numbering means the average number of ethylene oxide units (-CH2-CH2-O-) per mole of The C numbering (e.g. C12-15) designates synthetic C12-C15 fatty alcohols. "Isopropyl" designates isopropanol as the alcoholic component.

Carboxylates" generally refers to salts/esters of carboxylic acids.
