Ceteareth-25 is a synthetic compound derived from cetearyl alcohol and ethylene oxide. It functions primarily as an emulsifier, helping to blend oil and water-based ingredients together in cosmetic formulations. It also acts as a surfactant, reducing surface tension and aiding in the even distribution of products.
