Description

Cetearylglucoside is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant derived from natural fatty alcohols and glucose. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, cleansing, and foam-boosting properties, offering a mild and skin-friendly alternative to traditional synthetic surfactants. It is a critical ingredient for formulators in the personal care and cosmetic industries seeking to develop high-performance, natural-origin products. Its versatility also makes it suitable for applications in pharmaceutical and household cleaning formulations.

Application

• Primary emulsifier and co-emulsifier in cosmetic creams, lotions, and sun care products.
• Key surfactant in mild cleansing formulations such as facial washes, shower gels, and shampoos.
• Foam booster and stabilizer in natural and organic personal care products.
• Stabilizing agent in pharmaceutical emulsions and topical preparations.
• Ingredient in household and industrial cleaning products requiring mild, biodegradable surfactants.
• Used in baby care products due to its exceptional mildness and low irritation potential.
