Ceteareth-7

Ceteareth-7 is a synthetic compound derived from cetearyl alcohol and ethylene oxide. It functions as an emulsifier, helping to mix oil and water components in cosmetic formulations to create stable products. It also acts as a surfactant, which can improve the spreadability and cleansing properties of a product.
