It is one of the most widely used and well-characterized emulsifiers in the cosmetic industry, trusted by formulators globally for its reliability, versatility, and consistent performance across a broad range of formulation systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAvailable in convenient white to creamy flakes, it weighs accurately, handles cleanly without dust, and melts smoothly into the oil phase at standard processing temperatures. Once in the formulation, it reduces interfacial tension between oil and water phases, builds a stable emulsion network, and contributes meaningful viscosity and body to the finished product — giving creams and lotions that rich, luxurious consistency that feels premium in the hand and on the skin. In hair conditioners and styling products, it helps distribute conditioning actives evenly while contributing to the creamy, spreadable texture that makes a conditioner feel genuinely nourishing. A cornerstone emulsifier for professional cosmetic formulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrong O\/W Emulsification\u003c\/strong\u003e – high-HLB emulsifier that reliably blends oil and water phases into stable, uniform emulsions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickening \u0026amp; Viscosity\u003c\/strong\u003e – adds body and viscosity to formulations for a rich, creamy consistency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormulation Stabilization\u003c\/strong\u003e – prevents phase separation and maintains consistency over shelf life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnhanced Sensory Feel\u003c\/strong\u003e – improves spreadability and leaves a smooth, non-greasy finish on skin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlake Form Convenience\u003c\/strong\u003e – easy to weigh, handle, and incorporate without dust or clumping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreams, lotions \u0026amp; moisturizers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHair conditioners \u0026amp; styling products\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmulsion-based skincare formulations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody care \u0026amp; personal care products\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRecommended Usage Levels\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eApplication\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUsage Level\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCreams \u0026amp; Lotions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1% – 5%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConditioners\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1% – 4%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEmulsions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1% – 6%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Profile\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eINCI:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ceteareth-20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrade Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e ELOTANT CSAE 120 (LG)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e White to creamy flakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nonionic emulsifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFunction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Emulsifier, stabilizer, thickener\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolubility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water-dispersible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cosmetic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFormulation Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdd to the oil phase and heat to 70–75°C alongside other wax-phase ingredients — the flake form melts readily and incorporates cleanly. For maximum emulsion stability, combine with Cetearyl Alcohol as a co-emulsifier to build a robust lamellar emulsifier system — this is the classic Ceteareth-20 \/ Cetearyl Alcohol combination used in countless professional cream formulations. Ceteareth-20 can also be used alongside Ceteareth-10 or Ceteareth-12 in blended emulsifier systems to fine-tune HLB, texture, and viscosity. Compatible with most cosmetic actives, humectants, and preservative systems across a wide pH range.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Herbology","offers":[{"title":"50gm","offer_id":53286256279736,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true},{"title":"500gm","offer_id":53286256312504,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true},{"title":"kg","offer_id":53286256345272,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/1698\/5784\/files\/ceteareth-20-elotant-csae-120-lg-flakes.png?v=1775820259","url":"https:\/\/herbology.pk\/products\/ceteareth-20-flakes-elotant-csae-120","provider":"Herbology","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
