Description

Polyoxyethylene stearate is a surfactant that functions as an emulsifier, dispersing agent, and wetting agent. It is used in personal care products, pharmaceuticals, and medical devices. Polyoxyethylene stearate has been shown to be effective in the treatment of allergic symptoms and eye disorders caused by glycols. The analytical method for measuring this compound involves metal hydroxides such as copper(II) hydroxide. Polyoxyethylene stearate has also been shown to have anti-infective properties in wastewater treatment systems. This chemical has been found to be toxic when given orally or injected into laboratory animals; however, it does not cause irritation at low concentrations when applied to the skin.
