How is Heliwet FA 68/5 produced?
Heliwet FA 68/5 is produced by the ethoxylation of cetyl and stearyl alcohols with 5 moles of ethylene oxide. This process creates a balanced molecule with both hydrophilic and lipophilic properties, making it ideal for use in mild-acting formulations.
Function of Ceteareth-5
Ceteareth-5 acts as a co-emulsifier that stabilizes emulsions and improves the miscibility between water and oil. It helps active ingredients disperse more effectively and enhances the skin tolerance of emulsions.
