About

A phosphate-ester emulsifier based on cetearyl alcohol and polypropanediol-8 — a plant-derived alternative to PEG-emulsifiers. Mild, pH-friendly; safety looks good by class analogy but specific data are thin.

Skin benefits

  • Phosphate-ester emulsifier — pH-buffering
  • Mild and biocompatible
  • Polypropanediol chain is plant-derived (vs PEG)
  • Stabilises O/W emulsions

Known concerns
