MY972-B (Ceteareth-21) is an ethoxylated fatty alcohol derived from naturally occurring cetearyl alcohol. This surfactant offers various functional benefits, including excellent wetting and high foaming properties for a range of applications. MY972-B, typically sourced from vegetable or animal fats and oils, is a solid fatty alcohol known for its stabilizing and lubricating properties.
Ceteareth-21 is a premium plant-derived oil-in-water (O/W) emulsifier specially designed for sensitive skin formulations. This mild, non-ionic emulsifier creates ultra-light, non-irritating emulsions perfect for calming moisturizers, soothing lotions, and hypoallergenic skincare, while delivering exceptional stability and luxurious textures.
As a primary emulsifier, it forms stable O/W emulsions by reducing interfacial tension between oil and water, ideal for lightweight creams and lotions.
Functions as a thickener and stabilizer, adjusting the consistency of formulas to achieve a smooth, creamy texture and improved spreadability.
Provides mild hydration, forming a thin protective film to retain moisture and enhances the dispersion of active ingredients.
Compatible with ionic surfactants, electrolytes, and a wide range of functional additives in diverse formulations.
Classic water-in-oil emulsifiers, when combined, can be used to formulate emulsions that are resistant to ions, acids, and alkalis with a delicate appearance.
Light moisturizers, facial lotions, serums and more.
Creates stable O/W emulsions for lightweight textures, ensuring quick absorption and non-sticky feel.
Acts as a co-emulsifier in rinse-off products, improving foam consistency and hair detangling.
Thickens the formula, enhances the suspension of oily dirt, and provides a smooth rinsing experience.
Stabilizes emulsions containing UV filters, ensures even application, and prevents white cast.
Improves pigment dispersion and maintains a creamy texture in various cosmetic formats.
