Description
Sodium Cetearyl Sulfate is an ionic chemical compound used in cosmetic products as an emulsifier and surfactant to mix and stabilize various components in formulas. Reasons why it may be added to cosmetics: 1. Emulsification and stabilization: Allows for an even distribution of components and prevents product separation. 2. Skin softening: Provides a water binding effect on the skin surface and reduces moisture loss. 3. Easy application: Can make it easier to apply cosmetics to the skin and help them spread evenly. 4. Creamy and lotion-like textures: Helps create more creamy and light textures in cosmetics. 5. Enhancing the effectiveness of other ingredients: Can help enhance the penetration of certain active components into the skin, ensuring their more effective action. 6. Anti-static properties: In some cases, this ingredient can help reduce the static charge of hair and skin.
