FORMULATION GUIDELINES
| INCI | Cetearyl Alcohol (and) Ceteareth-20 |
|---|---|
| Type | Non-ionic emulsifier (O/W) |
| Solubility | Oil soluble (use in oil phase) |
| Use Rate | 1.0–3.0%, depending on the oil phase and desired texture. |
| Best Phase | Oil phase (melt into the oil phase before emulsification) |
| pH Compatibility | Works well in a pH range of 4.5–7.5 for optimal emulsification and stability. |
| Temperature Tolerance | Melts around 60–65°C; avoid exceeding 80°C during the emulsification process to preserve stability and functionality. |
| Pro Tip | For a smooth, non-greasy texture, consider pairing Montanov 68MB with a fatty alcohol (such as cetyl alcohol or stearyl alcohol) in the oil phase. This helps to adjust the emulsion’s viscosity and stability. Run a stability test for 24–48 hours to ensure the emulsion remains stable and does not separate. |
| Appearance | White to off-white waxy solid or flakes (depending on form) |
| Stability Notes | Can tolerate high and low pH systems, but it’s essential to check for separation or texture changes in different conditions. Some systems may require a stabilizer or co-emulsifier to improve viscosity. |
| Storage | Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. |
