General Description

Alcohols, C10-14, ethoxylated are a group of chemicals that are used as surfactants and emulsifiers in a wide range of products. They are formed through the process of ethoxylation, which involves adding ethylene oxide to fatty alcohols derived from natural sources such as coconut or palm oil. This process results in a range of alcohols with carbon chain lengths between 10 and 14, which gives them their name. These chemicals are commonly found in personal care products, household cleaners, and industrial applications, where they help to stabilize mixtures of oil and water, improve foaming and spreading, and enhance the performance of other ingredients. While they are generally considered safe for use when properly formulated, there is some concern about their potential to be contaminated with 1,4-dioxane, a known carcinogen, and efforts are being made to minimize this risk in their production.
