MY92 (Ceteareth-2) 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. MY92, typically sourced from vegetable or animal fats and oils, is a solid fatty alcohol known for its stabilizing and lubricating properties.
This premium plant-derived oil-in-water (O/W) emulsifier is specially formulated for sensitive skin care products. As a mild, non-ionic emulsifier, it creates ultra-light, non-irritating emulsions perfect for fragile, reactive, or allergy-prone skin types, while delivering exceptional stability in cosmetic formulations.
As a co-emulsifier, it strengthens the interfacial film of emulsions, preventing oil-water separation in creams and lotions.
Functions as a thickener in formulas, adjusting the consistency of gels and creams to achieve a smooth texture.
Forms a protective film on the skin to reduce transepidermal water loss, contributing to deep moisturization.
Recommended dosage: 1-5%. For external use only. Classic water-in-oil emulsifiers, when combined, can be used to formulate emulsions that are resistant to ions, acids, and alkalis.
Moisturizing creams, night creams, and anti-aging serums for improved stability.
Smoothes hair cuticles, reduces frizz, and adds shine as a conditioning agent.
Ensures uniform distribution of UV filters and provides a non-greasy finish.
Closed container, dry place, room temperature.
Cruelty-free, not animal tested.
No animal-derived components.
Non-GMO formulation standards.
A1: Ceteareth-2 is a non-ionic ethoxylated fatty alcohol derived from cetearyl alcohol. It serves as a primary or co-emulsifier and surfactant in cosmetic formulations.
A2: Yes, it is known for its mildness and is hypoallergenic, making it ideal for products designed for reactive, fragile, or sensitive skin types.
A3: The recommended dosage usually ranges from 1% to 5%, depending on the desired viscosity and stability of the emulsion.
A4: Yes, our Ceteareth-2 is vegan-friendly and does not contain any animal-derived components.
A5: It strengthens the interfacial film between oil and water phases, preventing separation and improving the overall shelf-life of the product.
A6: It should be stored in a tightly closed container in a dry place at room temperature to maintain its efficacy.
