Cetearyl Alcohol Emulsifier

• Co-emulsifier: helps to stabilise emulsions

• Consistency agent: thickens emulsions, oils and balms

• Texture enhancer: improves the feel of creams

• Non-greasy: adds creaminess without a heavy finish

• Emollient: softens the skin and helps maintain hydration

• Does not weigh hair down and rinses out easily

Associations

Cetearyl alcohol is always used in combination with another emulsifier or co-emulsifier, such as MF Emulsifier, VE Emulsifier, Emulsan, Vegetable Conditioner, etc.

Compatibility with preservatives

(*** no effect on stability, ** a decrease in stability has been observed in some cases at low dosages, or temporary destabilization has been noted when the preservative is added, * risk of emulsion destabilization)

Precautions

Precautions and allergens

Precautions for use

Allergens

Allergen-free

Hot emulsification at approximately 75°C.

Utensil : Electric mixer or manual whisk

1.  Add cetearyl alcohol to the oil phase and melt at around 75°C.

2. Emulsify at a temperature of around 75°C, following the recommended procedure for the main emulsifier used.

Textures obtained

Note: The type of vegetable oil used has a significant influence on the texture and feel of emulsions. For example, an emulsion made with avocado oil or wheat germ oil will have a richer feel than the same emulsion made with a "dry" oil such as hazelnut oil or melon oil. In addition, adding essential oils, certain active ingredients, and certain preservatives to your preparation can change the consistency obtained. Feel free to note down all your experiences to build up a database of information that you can consult each time you formulate a new cream.
