About
Trideceth-3 Phosphate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Trideceth-3 Phosphate is the phosphate ester of Trideceth-3 (tridecyl alcohol ethoxylated with approximately 3 moles of ethylene oxide). The phosphate moiety reduces the HLB and provides mildness without sacrificing emulsification capacity. EU Regulation (EC) 1223/2009 does not specifically restrict this ingredient. The generic CAS assignments (9046-01-9 / 73070-47-0) reflect variation in the exact alkyl chain distribution and phosphorylation patterns. Phosphate esters of this type are widely used in rinse-off cosmetics.
Skin benefits
- Mild yet effective cleansing surfactant
- Provides stable emulsification in various formulations
Known concerns
- Generic CAS covering multiple isomers may affect regulatory characterization
- Potential eye irritation in sensitive individuals
