Potassium cetyl phosphate typically looks like white or beige powder and can be added into a product for two main reasons: to stabilize a formula or to create a cleanser.
Stabilization can be achieved due to emulsifying properties of potassium cetyl phosphate. It is deemed a potent emulsifier that can mix even particularly problematic water and oil blends.
On top of that, it is a surfactant perfect for cleansing products. Potassium cetyl phosphate effectively rinses off oil and dirt particles from the surface of the skin.
