Isoceteth-20 is a polyethylene glycol ether formed by the ethoxylation of isocetyl alcohol (branched C16 fatty alcohols); with the general formula HO(C2H4O)nC16H33 where n has an average value of 20. It is a nonionic surfactant used as an oil-in-water emulsifier (e.g. perfume solubilizer), skin cleanser, and foam stabilizer [de] in personal care products.[2][3][4]
