Overview
Ceteth-20 serves as both a cleansing ingredient and as an emulsifier. This ingredient is polyethylene-based, as denoted by the “eth” in the name, and this makes ceteth-20 excellent at its function of a non-ionic surfactant. A non-ionic surfactant is a type of cleansing ingredient that is super mild on the skin but is still effective at cleansing.
The non-ionic character of ceteth-20 also means it can double as an emulsifier, which is a type of ingredient that hold water and oils together. Therefore, this ingredient can be found in a wide range of products, including shampoos, hand soaps, lotions, and creams.
