Ceteareth-50
Ceteareth-50 is a fatty alcohol with high saturation. It is in the form of white particles, odorless, soluble in water and alcohol to form a colloidal solution.
Ceteareth-50 is suitable for emulsion cosmetics, textiles, detergents.
The INCI names ceteareth-n (where n is a number) refer to polyoxyethylene ethers of a mixture of high molecular mass saturated fatty alcohols, mainly cetyl alcohol (m = 15) and stearyl alcohol (m = 17). The number n indicates the average number of ethylene oxide residues in the polyoxyethylene chain.
These compounds are non-ionic surfactants that work by attracting both water and oil at the same time, frequently used as emulsifiers in soaps and cosmetics.[1]
Ceteareth-50 is used in solubilized systems, oil or pigment dispersions and hair colour creams.
Ceteareth-50 acts as a solubilizing agent and a dispersion agent.
Ceteareth-50 is C16/C18 fatty alcohol polyglycol. It is a nonionic granulation auxiliary for the detergent industry.
Applications of Ceteareth-50 include emulsifiers, dispersing agents, solubilizers, binder for granulations, and industrial cleaning agents.

What Is It?

In cosmetics and personal care products, Ceteareth ingredients are used in skin care products, moisturizers, hair conditioners, suntan and indoor tanning products and hair dyes, colors, and tints.
Why is it used in cosmetics and personal care products?
Ceteareth-2 to -18, and Ceteareth-22, help to form emulsions by reducing the surface tension of the substances to be emulsified. Ceteareth-22 is also used to decrease the thickness of liquid cosmetics and personal care products. Ceteareth-20 to -40 help other ingredients to dissolve in a solvent in which they would not normally dissolve, and along with Ceteareths-50 to -100, clean the skin and hair by helping water to mix with oil and dirt so that these substances can be rinsed away.
Scientific Facts:
Ceteareths are made from cetearyl alcohol, which is a mixture of cetyl and stearyl alcohol, and ethylene oxide. The numerical value represents the average number of molecules of ethylene oxide added to generate the specific Ceteareth ingredient. For example, Ceteareth-2 is made by reacting Cetearyl Alcohol with an average of 2 molecules of ethylene oxide.
Storage
Ceteareth-50 can be stored for at least to 2 years in original sealed containers at room temperature under the recommended conditions.
Ceteareth-50 undergoes no change whatever in it’s product properties when exposed to cold during transport and storage.
