About Ceteth-20

Ceteth-20 is the polyethylene glycol ether of cetyl alcohol.[1] In cosmetics, it is used to help sebum and impurities rinse away with water, create emulsified formulas in which water and oil are evenly mixed, and lower surface tension so raw materials can wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
