Ceteareth-25
Ceteareth-25 can help to create smooth, consistent textures in creams and lotions, and it can also help to prevent the separation of oil and water-based ingredients over time.
Description
Ceteareth-25
Ceteareth-25 is a cosmetic grade, oil-in-water emulsifier used in the production of ointments, creams, liquid emulsions, gels and other similar products. This ingredient is a wax-like substance that is composed of a mixture of fatty alcohols and ethoxylated alcohols. It is a white, waxy solid that is easily soluble in water, and it has a mild, pleasant odor. Ceteareth-25 is an emulsifier that is used to help mix oil and water-based ingredients in cosmetic formulations. This ingredient is particularly useful in creating stable emulsions, which are essential in creating high-quality personal care products such as lotions, creams, and hair care products.
One of the main benefits of using Ceteareth-25 in cosmetic formulations is its ability to stabilize emulsions. This ingredient can help to create smooth, consistent textures in creams and lotions, and it can also help to prevent the separation of oil and water-based ingredients over time. In addition, Ceteareth-25 has emollient properties that can help to soften and smooth the skin, making it a popular ingredient in skin care formulations. Whether you are formulating a lotion, a hair conditioner, or any other personal care product, Ceteareth-25 is a versatile ingredient that can help you achieve the perfect texture and performance that your customers expect from high-quality cosmetics.

This specific batch tested clean for ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane residuals. The SDS still carries a Prop 65 warning below, since it covers the ethoxylation process generally (up to 1 ppm ethylene oxide / 10 ppm 1,4-dioxane as a regulatory ceiling) rather than this batch's actual result.
