About Ceteareth-33

Ceteareth-33 is the polyethylene glycol ether of cetearyl alcohol.[1] The number 33 at the end of the name indicates the average number of added ethylene oxide units. By changing the balance between the water-loving and oil-loving portions, it affects cleansing ability, emulsifying ability, and skin feel. In cosmetics, it is used to help sebum and impurities wash away with water, to create emulsified formulas in which water and oil are evenly mixed, and to lower surface tension so ingredients wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
