STEARETH-10

Description:
Steareth-10 is a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier commonly used in cosmetic and personal care formulations. It is derived from stearyl alcohol and ethylene oxide, which contributes to its properties. This substance typically appears as a white to off-white waxy solid or a viscous liquid, depending on its formulation and concentration. Steareth-10 is known for its ability to enhance the texture and stability of products, making it effective in creams, lotions, and hair care products. It functions by reducing surface tension, allowing for better mixing of oil and water phases, which is crucial in emulsification processes. Additionally, Steareth-10 exhibits mildness, making it suitable for sensitive skin formulations. It is generally considered safe for use in cosmetics, although, like many surfactants, it may cause irritation in some individuals. Its solubility in water and oils allows for versatility in various applications, contributing to its popularity in the formulation of both rinse-off and leave-on products.
