Overview of Oleyl-Cetyl Alcohol Ethoxylate
Oleyl-Cetyl Alcohol Ethoxylate is a high-performance nonionic surfactant and emulsifier widely used in cosmetics, personal care, and industrial formulations. It stabilises oil-in-water emulsions, improves texture, spreadability, and creaminess, and enhances foam and skin feel in lotions, creams, shampoos, and conditioners. Known for its compatibility with multiple ingredients and mildness, it is ideal for premium skincare and hair care formulations.
Its CAS number is 9004-99-3, and it is typically supplied as white to off-white waxy flakes or a solid. It is often combined with other emollients, fatty alcohols, and nonionic surfactants such as Cetyl Alcohol, Stearyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, and Oleyl Alcohol for improved emulsification, stability, and sensory properties.
