Ceteareth
Industrial Applications
Ceteareth compounds are polyethylene glycol ethers of cetearyl alcohol widely used in personal care and cosmetic manufacturing. They function as emulsifiers, surfactants, and solubilizers, helping to blend oil and water phases in creams, lotions, and hair care products. They are also used in medicinal skin formulations and exfoliating products to enhance texture and stability.
Physical Properties
Ceteareth compounds are typically off-white, waxy solids or pastes. They are soluble in oils and alcohols, partially soluble in water, and possess surfactant properties that reduce surface tension. Their chemical stability, emulsifying capability, and compatibility with other formulation ingredients make them versatile in both cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications.
