Cetearyl Glucoside
Overview Science Products

Overview

Cetearyl glucoside comes from cetearyl alcohol and glucose (sugar). It’s sold with cetearyl alcohol as an emulsifier blend and also provides some body to the formula. In the realm of emulsifiers, they hold water and oil mixtures together by promoting liquid crystal formation which is similar to the structure within skin.
