Cetearyl Glucoside

Cetearyl Glucoside is a plant-derived emulsifier and surfactant, typically made from cetearyl alcohol (from coconut/palm oil) and glucose (from corn/wheat). It helps to blend oil and water components in cosmetic formulations, creating stable emulsions. It can also contribute to the texture and feel of a product.
