Caution
Ceteareth-25 is an odourless, universal emulsifier widely used in cosmetic and personal care formulations. Compatible with all types of oils and active ingredients, it acts as a protective colloid, stabilising dispersed systems and ensuring uniformity in creams, lotions, serums, and other skincare or haircare products.
This versatile emulsifier can be combined with other emulsifiers for enhanced stability and works optimally with gel-forming thickeners, providing smooth texture, improved consistency, and better product performance.
Ceteareth-25 is soluble in water and alcohol, and can also be mixed with mineral, vegetable, or synthetic oils, making it ideal for formulators seeking stable, high-quality emulsions. Its multifunctionality makes it essential for manufacturers of creams, lotions, shampoos, conditioners, and other personal care products.
