Laureth-23 Substitution and Availability for Vitamin C Serum
Question
Regarding Laureth-23:
I am developing a Vitamin C serum formulation. I would like to know if it is possible to substitute Laureth-23 with another ingredient while maintaining the original formula's characteristics, such as clarity and texture.
Additionally, I saw some older information about the stock availability of Laureth-23. Could you please provide the current stock status and the expected restock date?
Answer
Information Regarding Laureth-23 Substitution and Availability
Regarding your question about substituting Laureth-23 in a Vitamin C serum formulation:
Laureth-23 is a unique solid emulsifier with a high HLB (around 17-18) that melts above 60 degrees Celsius. Its specific properties make it challenging to substitute directly with other emulsifiers while maintaining the original formula's characteristics, such as clarity and texture. Using a different emulsifier would likely result in a different outcome.
Regarding the availability of Laureth-23, the stock information from the conversation you referenced is from 2015 and is outdated. I am unable to provide a current restock date based on that historical information.
