I'll be reviewing this page over the next few days. Initial reading shows good prose and structure. FemkeMilene (talk) 17:25, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

The lede could benefit from having a second paragraph. While having jargon in an article like this is unavoidable, I think it can be reduced in the lede:

I think people will skim over ethoxylation and sulfation if they're unfamiliar with them, but if you can think of a simplification that would be nice

Shell states instead of claim, per WP:CLAIM
  The "claims" in that sentence was my attempt at getting the reader to pair Royal Dutch Shell's claims about its product safety with a little sodium chloride ;) (since it is a primary source, after all, and they have some quite compelling reasons to present it in a favorable light). If it's not appropriate here, I will change it accordingly.
That's fine. I'd get a kneejerk reaction 'oh really?' after the words 'shell says', but maybe others don't and the word claim is more appropriate.
(not GA criterion, ignore if you will): 300—370 -> a shorter dash should be used there, right?
  I think MoS says to use en-dashes for intervals like that, but it doesn't make a huge difference to me.
(not GA criterion): 𝜇g -> μg. Italics is a bit ugly
Y You know, that pissed me off too: I just used {{mu}} for convenience and it gave me that stupid italic μ. I didn't bother to fix it because I didn't think anyone else would care, but you have given me an excuse to do so now.

The penultimate paragraph of properties uses alpha and beta form, while the last paragraph gives a lay description. Shuffle?
Y That's a pretty brilliant catch, and a good idea. Done. jp×g 05:17, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
Is it possible to link Langmuir monolayer to something?

Therefore, the interaction of several partially fluorinated 1-pentadecanols with DPPC in a Langmuir monolayer was analyzed in a 2018 paper. The molecules were F4H11OH, F6H9OH, and F8H7OH; as the fluorination degree increased, so did hydrophobicity.[17]
How these molecules exist without carbon atoms, and what are the real chemical formula of these molecules??? --Nucleus hydro elemon (talk) 13:36, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

This is kind of bizarre to me as well. I double-checked the reference (here) again, and it does indeed say "H15OH (F4H11OH, F6H9OH, and F8H7OH)". This seems to me like some kind of error (normal pentadecanol is C15H32OH). I agree that it should be impossible for pentadecanols to exist without carbon, and I'll have to look into it further. jp×g 23:50, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
