Ceteareth-25 1 kg

Scaling Stable Emulsions with Ceteareth-25 in Studio and Industrial Batches

Ceteareth-25 is a non-ionic surfactant widely valued across manufacturing as a reliable co-emulsifier and solubilizer for oil-in-water systems. It belongs to the broader category of Emulsifiers, which brings together ingredients used to build stable creams, lotions and liquid emulsion structures. The 1 kg pack size suits small labs and studio-scale workshops that have already moved past trial formulations and now run repeated small batches, needing a dependable stock of raw material for weeks or months of steady production.

The strongest demand for ceteareth-25 comes from the personal care and cosmetics industry: face and body creams, lotions, balms, hair conditioners and emulsion masks. The compound keeps oil and water phases bound together, increases the viscosity of the finished product and makes it easier to disperse hard-to-blend ingredients such as essential and vegetable oils. Beyond cosmetics, ceteareth-25 is also used in household chemical formulations as part of cleaning and polishing compositions, and in the textile industry as a wetting and leveling agent during fiber processing. This cross-industry versatility makes it a practical raw material for manufacturers working across several adjacent product lines.

In formulations, ceteareth-25 is typically added to the oil phase while heating to 70-75 degrees Celsius, with usage levels generally ranging between 1 and 5 percent of the total product mass depending on the desired density and stability of the emulsion. It pairs well with fatty alcohols, vegetable oils and waxes, and can be combined with other emulsifiers to achieve more complex textures. Paired with Span 80, formulators can fine-tune the lipophilicity of the system, while combining it with the naturally derived Emulsifier NatureMulse gives lighter textures suited for sensitive skin formulas. For cold-process emulsions that skip heating altogether, MONTANOV 68 is often paired with ceteareth-25 to improve long-term storage stability of the finished emulsion.

Store the material in a tightly sealed container, in a dry space at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Under proper storage conditions its performance remains consistent for a long period, which matters when a 1 kg pack is purchased for recurring small-batch production runs.
