Frequently Asked Questions

What is trideceth-7 carboxylic acid?

Trideceth-7 carboxylic acid (CAS 68412-55-5) is an ether carboxylic acid derived from ethoxylated tridecyl (C13) alcohol. It is a mild anionic surfactant used in cleansing and personal-care formulations.

What is trideceth?

Trideceth is the INCI prefix for ethoxylated tridecyl (C13) alcohol; the following number is the average count of ethylene-oxide units. In trideceth-7 carboxylic acid, the trideceth-7 portion is converted to an ether carboxylic acid, giving an anionic surfactant.

Is trideceth-7 carboxylic acid an acid or a surfactant?

It is both in function: chemically it is an ether carboxylic acid, and in formulation it acts as a mild anionic surfactant and co-surfactant for cleansing products.

What is trideceth-7 carboxylic acid used for?

It is used as a mild anionic surfactant in cleansing formulations, as a co-surfactant in skin- and hair-cleansing products, and as a surface-active ingredient in formulated cleaners.
