Ceteareth-20

Ceteareth-20 is a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier commonly used in personal care and animal care products. It enables the stable blending of oil and water phases in emulsions, improving product consistency and texture. Known for creating smooth, spreadable, and non-greasy formulations, it is widely used in lotions, shampoos, conditioners, and creams. Its ease of incorporation and skin-conditioning benefits make it a reliable ingredient across a range of topical and grooming formulations.
