About Ceteareth-5 Phosphate
Ceteareth-5 Phosphate is a complex mixture of esters of phosphoric acid and Ceteareth-5.[1] The number 5 at the end of the name indicates the average number of added ethylene oxide units; it changes the balance between water-loving and fat-loving portions, resulting in differences in cleansing ability, emulsifying power, and sensory feel. In cosmetics, it is used to help sebum and impurities wash away with water and to lower surface tension so ingredients can wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
