Description
Ceteareth-12 is one of many polyethylene glycol (PEG) ethers widely used in the cosmetic industry as emulsifiers, surfactants, and stabilizers. This ingredient plays an important role in formulating cosmetic products due to its ability to reduce the surface tension between ingredients, promoting the formation of stable emulsions. The main reason for adding Ceteareth-12 to cosmetic products is its ability to improve the mixing of water and oil components, allowing for the creation of homogeneous and stable creams, lotions, shampoos, and other products. Thanks to its properties, Ceteareth-12 allows manufacturers to obtain products with a pleasant texture and good sensory characteristics. In addition, Ceteareth-12 can improve foaming in shampoos and other cleansing products, providing softness and smoothness. This also helps to evenly distribute active ingredients on the surface of the skin or hair, increasing their effectiveness.
