Steareth ingredients (including Steareth-10) are polyethylene glycol ethers of stearic acid, appearing as waxy compounds. They function primarily as non-ionic emulsifiers that reduce the intermolecular forces between liquid molecules, enabling the formation of stable emulsions.
As a superior emulsifier engineered for high-end skincare and haircare, Steareth-10 delivers exceptional emulsion stability, a smooth texture, and enhanced spreadability in creams, lotions, and serums.
Suitable for both W/O and O/W systems, especially medium-oil formulas, to effectively prevent phase separation.
Improves spreadability and reduces greasiness, imparting a "silky non-heavy" feel to cosmetic serums.
Effectively solubilizes lipophilic actives and disperses pigments for uniform and consistent formulations.
Enhances electrolyte resistance and thermal stability when combined with other secondary emulsifiers.
Classic water-in-oil emulsifiers, when combined, can be used to formulate emulsions that are resistant to ions, acids, and alkalis with a delicate appearance.
Widely utilized in personal hygiene, deodorants, sunscreens, and specialized hair/skin care.
Stabilizes oil-water phases and enhances absorption. Ideal for dispersing physical sunscreens to reduce white cast.
Emulsifies silicones to reduce static and frizz. Solubilizes natural plant oils to enhance foam richness.
Prevents pigment sedimentation and stabilizes wax-oil systems in products like eyeshadows and foundations.
