About Steareth-10

Steareth-10 is a polyethylene glycol ether of stearyl alcohol.[1] The number 10 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 properties, and feel. In cosmetics, it is used to create emulsions in which water and oil are evenly mixed, replenish an oily feel to the skin or hair after cleansing, and lower surface tension so ingredients wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
