Cetyl Stearyl Ether-12 (also known as Ceteareth-12) is a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from a blend of cetyl and stearyl alcohols through ethoxylation with approximately 12 ethylene oxide units. As a mid-chain ethoxylate, it balances hydrophilic and lipophilic properties, making it suitable for stabilizing oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions and enhancing texture in cosmetics.
Cetyl Stearyl Ether-12 (INCI: Ceteareth-12) is a premium non-ionic emulsifier engineered for superior oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion stability in advanced cosmetic products. With its optimal HLB value of 14.5, it is the ideal choice for formulators seeking to create lightweight yet stable creams, lotions, and serums with exceptional spreadability and long-lasting performance.
Cetyl Stearyl Ether-12 meets the highest purity standards, ensuring batch-to-batch consistency for your most demanding formulations. Its temperature stability and pH resilience make it particularly valuable for products requiring robust performance under varying conditions.
Enhanced emulsion stability for improved product shelf life.
Silky-smooth texture without greasy residue.
Excellent compatibility with both hydrophilic and lipophilic actives.
Mild, non-irritating properties suitable for sensitive skin formulations.
Commonly used in daily lotions, gel-creams, and facial serums.
Stabilizes O/W emulsions for lightweight hydration, suitable for normal to oily skin.
Improves foam stability in shampoos and acts as a detangler in conditioners by reducing friction.
Emulsifies water-soluble UV filters and enhances spreadability.
Aids in the solubilization of oil-based impurities while maintaining a gentle, non-stripping formula.
Store in a closed container at a dry place at room temperature.
