About Ceteareth-15

Ceteareth-15 is the polyethylene glycol ether of cetearyl alcohol.[1] The number 15 at the end of the name indicates the average number of ethylene oxide units added, changing the balance between the water-loving and lipid-loving portions and thereby affecting cleansing power, emulsifying ability, and sensory feel. In cosmetics, it is used to create emulsified formulas in which water and oil are evenly mixed and to reduce surface tension so raw materials wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
