Product Overview
NIKOO's Ceteareth-6 (INCI: *Ceteareth-6*, CAS 68439-49-6) is a plant-sourced, non-ionic surfactant engineered for superior water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion stabilization. With balanced hydrophile-lipophile properties (HLB 10–12), this white waxy solid enables elegant textures in creams, lotions, and cleansers while meeting stringent global safety standards. Ideal for sensitive-skin formulations, it combines emulsification efficiency with regulatory rigor
CETEARETH-6 is a nonionic emulsifier commonly used in cosmetics and personal care products. Its primary function is to help oil-water compatibility and enhance product stability.
Key Properties and Uses of CETEARETH-6:
Emulsifier: CETEARETH-6 is an effective oil-in-water (O/W) emulsifier that helps form and stabilize emulsions, enhancing product texture and appearance.
Stability: It exhibits good tolerance to inorganic salts and high and low pH levels, contributing to product stability in various environments.
Applicable Products: Widely used in creams, lotions, hair dyes, depilatory creams, and other products.
Other Functions: In addition to emulsification, it also provides moisturizing and thickening properties.
Core Applications & Benefits
Triple-Action Performance
Emulsion Stabilization: Forms heat-resistant (≤80°C) W/O systems for luxury creams and sunscreens .
Cleansing Enhancement: Boosts foam quality in sulfate-free cleansers without stripping skin lipids.
Synergy Optimization: Partners with Cetearyl Alcohol (3:1 ratio) to reduce emulsifier load by 25% .
Safety & Compliance
CIR-Certified: Safe at ≤0.8% in leave-on and ≤2% in rinse-off products .
Non-Comedogenic: Zero pore-clogging risk (per EWG assessment) .
Risk Mitigation: Dioxane ≤10 ppm; diethylene glycol ≤1 ppm .
Sustainability Profile
Plant-Derived: ≥80% natural origin (ISO 16128).
Biodegradable: >90% degradation in 28 days (OECD 301D).
Storage & Handling
Conditions: 25°C max, ≤60% humidity, sealed/light-resistant containers
