Potassium Laureth Phosphate
Potassium Laureth Phosphate (CAS: 68954-87-0) is an anionic surfactant combining a C12 fatty chain ethoxylated with phosphate ester functionality neutralized with potassium. This mild, high-foaming surfactant produces creamy, dense lather while maintaining skin compatibility, making it ideal for premium facial cleansers, baby shampoos, and sensitive-skin body washes. The phosphate group provides excellent emulsification properties and compatibility with cationic conditioning agents, enabling formulation of two-in-one conditioning shampoos without precipitation. It performs well in hard water and exhibits good lime soap dispersing ability, preventing soap scum in soap-based systems. Personal care applications include sulfate-free cleansing systems where mildness is paramount, while industrial uses encompass textile softeners and emulsifier systems. With its gentle profile and formulation flexibility, potassium laureth phosphate is valued in high-end personal cleansing products.
