Cetyl Phosphate is a hexadecyl dihydrogen phosphate, a highly effective anionic oil-in-water emulsifier supplied in acid form. This means that the tailor-made salts required for the final formulation can be created via partial neutralization with various bases individually.
Cetyl Phosphate is used in oil-in-water creams and lotions, which contain a broad spectrum of oils and emollients, and is especially suited for stable, water-resistant sun-care formulations. In addition, it does not contain ethoxylated parts for PEG-free formulations.
