Ceteth-10
Ceteth-10 is a synthetic ingredient derived from cetyl alcohol and ethylene oxide. It primarily functions as an emulsifier, helping to blend oil and water-based ingredients into a stable mixture. It also acts as a surfactant, which can contribute to the cleansing and foaming properties of a product.
