Surfactants (Surface-Active Agents) are key ingredients in cosmetics and personal care products, primarily used for their cleansing, foaming, and emulsifying properties. They work by reducing surface tension between water and oils, allowing dirt and sebum to be lifted away from skin and hair.

Ceteareth 20 Ginonic

Ceteareth 20 Ginonic CSA 20 is a nonionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from the ethoxylation of cetearyl alcohol, incorporating approximately 20 ethylene oxide units per molecule. It appears as a white to off-white waxy solid or viscous liquid, depending on temperature and formulation. This emulsifier is widely used in cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and industrial formulations for its excellent ability to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions, improve texture, and enhance the sensory properties of finished products. Its high hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) makes it especially effective in forming stable emulsions and solubilizing lipophilic ingredients in aqueous phases. Ceteareth 20 is valued for its mildness, broad compatibility, and multifunctional performance.

Ceteareth 25 Ginonic

Ceteareth 25 Ginonic CSA 25 is a nonionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from the ethoxylation of cetearyl alcohol, incorporating approximately 20 ethylene oxide units per molecule. It appears as a white to off-white waxy solid or viscous liquid, depending on temperature and formulation. This emulsifier is widely used in cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and industrial formulations for its excellent ability to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions, improve texture, and enhance the sensory properties of finished products.

Cetomacrogel 1000BP

Cetomacrogel 1000BP is a high molecular weight polyethylene glycol (PEG) derivative, typically used as a thickening agent, emulsifier, and stabilizer in pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations. It appears as a white to off-white, waxy solid or flakes with a neutral odor. Known for its excellent water solubility and compatibility with various ingredients, Cetomacrogel 1000BP enhances texture, viscosity, and stability in creams, ointments, and gels. It serves as a hydrophilic vehicle base in topical and oral pharmaceutical preparations and improves product spreadability and skin feel.

Cetomacrogol PEG1000 (Ginonic CSA 20)

Cetomacrogol PEG (Ginonic CSA) is a polyethylene glycol-based nonionic surfactant and emulsifier with an average molecular weight of approximately 1000 Da. It appears as a white to off-white waxy solid or flakes with a neutral odor. This high-quality grade is widely used in cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and personal care formulations due to its excellent emulsifying, solubilizing, and moisturizing properties. Cetomacrogol PEG1000 (Ginonic CSA 20) facilitates stable oil-in-water emulsions, improves product texture and skin feel, and enhances the bioavailability of active ingredients. Its hydrophilic nature and compatibility with a wide range of ingredients make it a versatile additive in creams, lotions, ointments, and topical gels.

Cetyl Trimethyl Ammonium Chloride

Cetyl Trimethyl Ammonium Chloride (CTAC) is a cationic surfactant and quaternary ammonium compound characterized by a long hydrophobic cetyl (C16) alkyl chain and a positively charged ammonium head group. It appears as a white to pale yellow powder or flakes, soluble in water, and exhibits strong surface-active properties. CTAC is widely used in cosmetics, personal care, and industrial applications for its excellent conditioning, antistatic, emulsifying, and disinfectant capabilities. It functions primarily as a fabric softener, hair conditioner, and antimicrobial agent.
