Beheneth-25 is a polyethylene glycol ether of behenyl alcohol and a synthetic copolymer made from the ester of methacrylic acid and behenyl alcohol, along with one or more monomers of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid.
It serves as a texture enhancer and thickening agent in skincare and hair care products, providing aesthetic and sensory benefits by delivering a soft, smooth feel. In skincare, Beheneth-25 helps achieve a smooth skin texture, while in hair care, it aids in conditioning and detangling.
Beheneth-25 is a non-ionic emulsifier used to produce oil-in-water (O/W) cosmetic emulsions. It is suitable for use in alcohol and glycol-based formulations, clear shampoos, shower gels, and two-component hair dye systems. As an anionic associative rheology modifier and stabilizer, it provides characteristics like a soft, non-greasy, non-sticky feel and is versatile for various formulations, including gels, emulsions, and clear solutions.
Beheneth-25 is a high-performance non-ionic emulsifier specifically engineered to elevate luxury skincare and haircare products. This specialty ingredient delivers exceptional emulsion stability and sensory appeal in creams, lotions, and conditioners, making it ideal for high-end cosmetic formulations.

Forms stable oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions with fine droplet sizes, ideal for high-oil-content formulations.

Thickens aqueous systems without sticky residues, creating creamy textures in lotions and creams; improves suspension.

Encapsulates oils, waxes, and active compounds (e.g., retinol), enhancing formulation transparency and stability.

Forms a breathable lipid film on skin, reducing transepidermal water loss and improving long-term hydration.
Emulsifies retinol and peptides while forming a nourishing film. Thickens oily bases for a smooth, non-greasy texture.
Disperses pigments and prevents sedimentation, ensuring even coverage and a natural finish.
Emulsifies cationic surfactants and silicone oils, improving detangling and reducing frizz.
Solubilizes oil-soluble UV filters and stabilizes zinc oxide particles in mineral formulas.
