Cetearyl Glucoside/Cetearyl Alcohol is a natural self-emulsifying creammaker base, that demonstrates good skin compatibility-even with sensitive skin. Based on Alkyl Polyglucosides, it builds biomimetic lamellar creams that exhibit the same lamellar structure as natural skin lipids
Cetearyl glucoside and cetearyl alcohol are common ingredients found in many cosmetic products. Cetearyl glucoside is an emulsifier and surfactant that helps to stabilise and blend oil and water-based ingredients. It is derived from cetearyl alcohol and glucose obtained from vegetable oils, making it a natural and gentle ingredient. Cetearyl glucoside plays a crucial role in maintaining the consistency and texture of cosmetic formulations, allowing them to spread easily on the skin. It also helps to improve the moisturising properties of the products, making them suitable for dry and sensitive skin types. Additionally, cetearyl glucoside has a low risk of causing skin irritation, making it a preferred choice for people with sensitive skin.
On the other hand, cetearyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol that is widely used as an emollient and thickening agent in cosmetics. It is derived from natural sources such as coconut oil or palm oil. Cetearyl alcohol acts as a lubricant on the skin's surface, creating a smooth and soft texture. It also helps to prevent moisture loss by forming a barrier on the skin, making it beneficial for dry and dehydrated skin. Cetearyl alcohol is often combined with other ingredients to enhance the stability and performance of cosmetic products.
