Description

Ceteareth-25 is an emulsifier and surfactant that has the following functions: 1. Emulsification: helps create a stable emulsion where the water and oil phases are kept together and do not separate after mixing. 2. Thickening and stabilizing texture: can add viscosity and multi-dimensionality to formulas, improving their texture and aiding in ease of use. 3. Assistance in active ingredient distribution: helps ensure an even distribution of active ingredients in the formula, which promotes their effectiveness and even application to the skin. 4. Reduction of surface tension: this can improve product application and absorption on the skin.
