Laureth-7
Ethoxylated Surfactant
Ethoxylation Contaminants | As an ethoxylated ingredient, Laureth-7 may contain residual ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane if manufacturing and purification are not adequately controlled. These contaminants are avoidable through appropriate processing, but their potential presence conflicts with Oh Daisey's precautionary standard.
