Steareth-2 is a synthetic polymer derived from stearyl alcohol and ethylene oxide, primarily functioning as an emulsifier in cosmetic formulations. It helps to mix oil and water components that would otherwise separate, creating stable and consistent product textures. It can also act as a surfactant, aiding in cleansing.
