Ceteareth-20

Description

Harness the stable, versatile power of Ceteareth-20, the non-ionic emulsifier made from cetearyl alcohol, for your Build-Your-Own ORY^® skincare, haircare, cosmetics, and syndet cleansers. As the water-loving partner in many classic emulsifier systems — including Emulsifying Wax NF (with cetearyl alcohol) — it produces stable, elegant, non-tacky oil-in-water lotions and creams that tolerate acids, salts, and cationic conditioners alike. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review Panel has concluded ceteareths are safe when formulated to be non-irritating. In your custom lotion, cream, or cleansing lotion, it gives every skin type a light, elegant texture and stable delivery of actives such as vitamin C, retinol, and acids. In your conditioner, curl cream, leave-in, or scalp lotion, it works hand in hand with BTMS for smooth, stable hair creams. In your cosmetics, it builds cream foundations and makeup removers. In your handmade range, it serves syndet bars and liquid cleansers. PEG-free alternatives such as Montanov 68 and Olivem 1000 are available for natural-positioned formulas. Customize your cruelty-free formulation for elegant, reliable textures. Caution: PEG-type ingredient — not for COSMOS/natural-certified formulas. Avoid high levels on broken skin. Not for cold-process soap. Patch test before first use.
