Ceteareth-20 and Cetearyl alcohol are high-quality cosmetic raw materials made from a combination of two core ingredients. As a non-ionic emulsifying system, they are widely used in the fields of skin care, hair care and special-effect cosmetics with multiple advantages such as emulsification, self-thickening, gentleness, and strong adaptability. All indicators meet the strict standards of the industry and are ideal raw materials for creating high-quality cosmetics.
I.Core basic information
The composition ratio of the two core ingredients is clear: the content of ceteareth-20 accounts for 58-60%, and the content of cetearyl alcohol accounts for 38-40%. The appearance is white granular, the properties are stable at 25℃, and the physical and chemical indicators are better than industry standards, as follows：
-Acid value: The measured value is 0.15mgKOH/g, which is much lower than the industry standard upper limit of ≤5mgKOH/g
-Melting point: The measured value is 51.3℃, which is within the standard range of 50-60℃
-pH value: 1% aqueous solution pH=7.2, falling in the mild range of 6.5-7.5
The packaging adopts the specification of 20kg/bag. When storing, the container should be kept sealed and dry. It should be placed in a cool and ventilated place and the temperature should be controlled ≤30℃ to avoid changes in properties caused by high temperature and humidity.Transportation complies with EC guidelines, and there is no need to post hazard warning labels. Land, rail, and inland river transportation are not included in dangerous goods, which greatly reduces transportation costs and risks.In terms of environmental protection disposal, the containers must be handed over to hazardous waste or special waste collection companies for disposal after use, and cannot be discarded or discharged into water bodies at will, which meets the requirements of environmental protection regulations.
II.Core advantages (core selling points)
The core competitiveness of the raw material lies in multi-function and synergy, and the core advantages are concentrated in four points, taking into account practicality and convenience.：
1. Emulsification + self-thickening
As a professional
Oil in water emulsifier, it can efficiently disperse the oil phase components evenly in the aqueous phase system to form a stable and delicate milky structure.Compared with traditional emulsifiers, its biggest advantage is that there is no need to add additional
Thickening suspension thickeners. By adjusting its own addition, it can accurately regulate the viscosity of the product and adapt to different texture requirements from refreshing lotions to heavy creams. It not only simplifies the formula development process, reduces the complexity of raw material matching, and also reduces the risk of skin irritation that may be caused by the superposition of multiple additives.
2. Multiple scenes
It has a strong formula adaptation ability, can be perfectly compatible with a wide range of cosmetic raw materials, and is suitable for formula systems containing high concentrations of electrolytes, such as products with added antiperspirant salts, natural moisturizing factor (NMF) active substances, fruit acid (AHA) and hyaluronic acid.At the same time, it has a wide range of acid and alkali resistance. Whether it is an acidic environment as low as 3 or an alkaline system as high as 14, it can maintain a stable emulsifying effect without problems such as stratification and demulsification, especially in special-effect products such as hair removal cream. Outstanding performance.In addition, when paired with common oils, it can further optimize the skin feeling of the product, reduce greasy feeling, and improve the absorption efficiency of the skin.
3. Gentle nature
Gentleness is one of its core highlights. As a nonionic
Emulsifier, it has low irritation and is suitable for use within the recommended range.At the same time, it can also assist in improving the skin feeling of the product, make the application process smoother, and reduce the friction of the cream on the skin. When used with skin-sensitive agents, it can also help the active ingredients be more evenly distributed on the surface of the skin, promote the penetration and absorption of nutrients, and enhance the skin care effect of the product.
4. Flexible collocation
Its flexible matching characteristics, combined with different functional raw materials, can realize the upgrade of efficacy：
-Compound with
Moisturizer: further enhance the moisturizing and water-locking ability of the product, so that the skin remains hydrated for a long time
-Pairing with sunscreens: enhance the stability of sunscreens and avoid the failure of sunscreens due to light and high temperature decomposition
-Match with whitening ingredients such as niacinamide: help whitening ingredients to be more evenly distributed on the surface of the skin and improve the whitening effect
III.Detailed application scenarios
With its multiple advantages, the raw material is widely used in the two core fields of skin care and hair care, and is adapted to a variety of product types to accurately meet the formulation needs of different scenarios.：
1. Skin care field
It can be widely used in creams, lotions, fruit acid rejuvenating essences, hair removal creams and other skin care products.In practical applications, formulators only need to change the addition ratio of the raw material to prepare products suitable for different seasons and different skin types, which can not only ensure the stability of the formula, but also optimize the skin feeling of the product, and assist the active ingredients to be better absorbed by the skin.For example, in moisturizing face creams, after adding this raw material, the ductility of the face cream is improved, which effectively improves dryness, roughness and other problems.
2. Hair care field
It also performs well in hair care products, suitable for hair masks, baking creams, hair coloring products, shampoos and other categories.It can effectively improve the applicability of hair care products, so that the product smoothly covers every hair, and avoids clumping and pulling hair.For hair dyeing products, the adhesion of colorants can be improved, and the pigments can be deposited more evenly in the cortical layer of the hair, making the hair dyeing effect longer-lasting and fuller color rendering.In addition, as an emulsifier, it can be used with other emulsifying systems to prepare baking ointments with high white oil content to provide deep nourishment for damaged hair.
IV.Recommended amount to add
The amount of this raw material can be flexibly adjusted according to the product type, and the general addition interval is 2-10%, which can not only ensure the emulsifying effect and stable texture, but also take into account the cost performance. The specific recommendations are as follows：
-Resident cosmetics (creams, lotions, etc.): 0.5-3%
-Rinsing cosmetics (shampoo, shower gel, etc.): 0.5-3%
-Special products (baking cream, hair removal cream, etc.): 5-10%
V.Summary of raw materials
Ceteareth-20 and Cetearyl alcohol have become a very competitive raw material in the cosmetics industry with multiple advantages such as emulsification, thickening, gentleness, and strong adaptability.With stable performance, excellent skin feeling and a wide range of application scenarios, it provides a solid raw material support for the research and development and production of skin care and hair care products, and is an ideal choice for creating high-quality cosmetics.Its physical and chemical indicators are in line with industry standards, safety and compliance have been fully verified, and it has shown strong potential and value in market applications.
