Request SDS →Cetearyl Glucoside (CAS 246159-33-1) is a non-ionic alkyl polyglucoside derived from cetearyl alcohol and glucose. It functions as an emulsifier in cosmetic and personal-care formulations, typically as the emulsifying partner in glucoside emulsifier systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is cetearyl glucoside used for?
Cetearyl glucoside (CAS 246159-33-1) is a non-ionic alkyl polyglucoside used as an oil-in-water emulsifier in cosmetic formulations, as an emulsion stabilizer for creams and lotions, and as a co-emulsifier that works alongside cetearyl alcohol in glucoside emulsifier systems.
What is cetearyl glucoside made from?
It is derived from cetearyl alcohol (a cetyl/stearyl alcohol blend) and glucose, making it a plant-derived-style alkyl polyglucoside surfactant. It is a non-ionic emulsifier supplied as a cosmetic raw material.
Why is cetearyl glucoside used with cetearyl alcohol?
Cetearyl glucoside is typically the hydrophilic emulsifying partner and is paired with cetearyl alcohol, which acts as the lipophilic co-emulsifier and consistency factor, together forming a self-emulsifying glucoside system. The pairing builds stable O/W emulsions with characteristic texture.
What grades of cetearyl glucoside are available in bulk?
It is offered as cosmetic-grade material, often as part of a glucoside emulsifier blend, with grade and specification stated on the Certificate of Analysis per lot. Specify whether you need the single ingredient or a co-emulsifier blend for a quote.
How is cetearyl glucoside packaged and documented?
It is supplied as a solid (flake or powder) in bags and drums, with a Certificate of Analysis and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) provided per lot. Contact us with your volume requirement for current bulk pricing.
