Mild non-ionic surface-active ingredient derived from Rapeseed Oil,
enriched in Erucic acid (ω-9).
Solubility promoter for lipophilic ingredients in clear systems. Hydrophilic emollient. Mild co-surfactant in toiletries, able to increase the micelle size enough to exceed the diameter of the epidermal water channels, reducing skin erythema and skin barrier dusruption caused by surfactant penetration in skin.
