What is it?
Cetearyl Glucoside is a naturally derived emulsifier used in skincare products to blend oil and liquid ingredients, creating a stable and consistent formulation. It is a combination of cetearyl alcohol, a fatty alcohol, and glucose, a sugar derived from plants. Cetearyl Glucoside is particularly valued for its ability to create smooth, creamy textures in skincare products while being gentle on the skin.
Where does it come from?
Cetearyl Glucoside is sourced from natural ingredients. Cetearyl alcohol is typically derived from plant oils like coconut oil, while the glucose component is extracted from corn, wheat, or other plant sources. It is biodegradable and environmentally friendly, making it a popular choice in natural and organic skincare products.
