Product details

INCI: Cetearyl Alcohol (And) Ceteareth 20

Ceteareth-20 is an emulsifying agent that is found in a range of skin care and hair care products. Its special properties help to keep skin and hair smooth, soft, and supple. Ceteareth-20 appears white in color and is an odorless compound that attracts both oil and water, thus keeping the formulations together and stabilizing them. Additionally, it works well with almost all the other ingredients and is safe for all skin types.

Ceteareth-20 can be found in the ingredient list of many personal care and cosmetic products. The reason for this is the broad range of benefits that this ingredient offers.

• Skin care: It is a great emollient that works on the skin to make it smoother and softer. It also stabilizes the formulations by helping to bind together water-based and oil-based ingredients
• Hair care: In hair care products, it is responsible for providing moisture to the scalp and keeping it well hydrated. In turn, the hair grows shinier and healthier, while the scalp is free from itchiness. Ceteareth-20 also provides the required thickness to hair.
• Cosmetic products: It is used to provide texture and improve the look of the products. It is an excellent surfactant that lowers the surface tension of the formulations and helps stabilize them.
