  • Applications

    Hydroxycetyl hydroxyethylstearamide (CAS 119093-81-1) is typically used as a nonionic surfactant and conditioning/emollient ingredient in cosmetic and personal care formulations, where it acts as an emulsifier and thickener to stabilize oil-in-water systems and to improve texture and feel in creams, lotions, shampoos, and cleansers. It can function as a conditioning agent in hair care, enhancing slip and manageability. It serves as a surface-active additive in household cleaning products to boost foam and cleaning performance, and is used in industrial formulations such as coatings, inks, or adhesives as a compatible surfactant/emulsifier to stabilize emulsions. In some systems, it also contributes as a lubricant/conditioning component within polymer or plastics processing formulations. Subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
