Product Description

Steareth-10

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.

  • Excellent compatibility with both oil and water phases
  • Superior stabilizing properties for long-lasting formulations
  • Mild and non-irritating characteristics for sensitive skin
  • Versatile performance in moisturizers, sunscreens, and conditioners
