Glycol Cetearate is an ester of cetearyl alcohol and ethylene glycol. It primarily functions as an emulsifier, helping oil and water to mix and stay blended in cosmetic formulations. It also acts as an opacifying agent, giving products a pearlescent or opaque appearance, and can contribute to product viscosity.
