Technical Information
Common questions about our personal care ingredients
O/W (oil-in-water) emulsifiers like Ceteareth-20 create light, water-washable lotions and creams. W/O (water-in-oil) emulsifiers like Steareth-2 create richer, more occlusive products like cold creams. Choose based on your desired skin feel and formulation stability.
PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil (Pharcos HCO 40) is the industry standard for solubilizing fragrance oils in water-based formulations. For essential oils, Polysorbate 20 works well for lighter oils, while Polysorbate 80 is better for heavier essential oils.
Yes, Cocamide DEA (CDEA) is an excellent foam booster and viscosity builder that works well with all surfactant types. It improves foam quality, adds thickness, and is commonly used at 1-3% in shampoo formulations.
Glyceryl Stearate SE contains added soap (sodium or potassium stearate) making it self-emulsifying - it can create stable emulsions on its own. Plain Glyceryl Stearate requires additional emulsifiers but provides a non-ionic, gentler option for sensitive skin formulations.
Ceteareth-20 is typically used at 1-3% in O/W emulsions. For lighter lotions, 1-2% is sufficient. For thicker creams, 2-3% provides better stability. It's often combined with Cetearyl Alcohol for improved texture and emulsion stability.
We offer both synthetic and naturally-derived options. Our Glyceryl Stearate, Cetearyl Alcohol, and vegetable-derived ethoxylates can be used in natural formulations. Contact our technical team for specific green chemistry alternatives.
