Ceteareth 20

Ceteareth 20 (Ceteareth 20) is a versatile nonionic surfactant derived from cetyl-stearyl alcohol and 20 moles of ethylene oxide. Known for its high HLB (Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Balance) value, this emulsifier excels in creating stable oil-in-water emulsions, making it an essential ingredient in many cosmetic formulations. When combined with other emulsifiers like glyceryl stearate, Ceteareth 20 enhances emulsion stability, contributing to a smooth and uniform texture. Its solubility in water and isopropyl alcohol further adds to its functionality, allowing for seamless integration in a diverse range of products, from lotions to creams.
