Macrogol-9-lauryl ether benefits:

Macrogol-9-lauryl ether, also known as laureth-9 or polidocanol, has several uses, primarily as an emulsifier and solubilizer in pharmaceutical and cosmetic products. It's also used as a local anesthetic and in sclerotherapy for treating varicose veins. 
Here's a breakdown of its benefits:
Pharmaceuticals:
Emulsifier and solubilizer:
It helps combine oil and water-based ingredients in formulations like creams and lotions. 
Local anesthetic:
It can be used in ointments to relieve itching and as a local anesthetic in some topical preparations. 
Sclerosing agent:
It's used in sclerotherapy to treat varicose veins and esophageal and gastric varices, by causing them to collapse and fade. 
Cosmetics:
Emulsifier: It helps create stable mixtures of ingredients in cosmetic products. 
Surfactant: It can help cleanse the skin and hair by reducing surface tension. 
Solubilizer: It helps dissolve other ingredients in cosmetic formulations. 
Other:
Wetting agent: It can improve the spreadability of liquids. 
Non-ionic surfactant: It's a type of surfactant that is gentle on the skin and doesn't cause much irritation. 
Important considerations:
While Polidocanol has anesthetic properties, it's important to be aware of the potential for skin damage due to reduced sensitivity. 
Regulations regarding the use of macrogol lauryl ethers vary by region, including permitted concentrations and availability.
