Sensory Enhancer Emulsifier Potassium Cetyl Phosphate is an anionic O/W emulsifier with wide pH range stability to formulate in sun care, skin care, and make-up products, stabilizes for high dosage of UV filters, pigments, polar and non-polar oils, etc. Performance: Low odor in formulation. Glory appearance. Easy to pick up. Faster absorption. Increase formulation stability. Improve formulation texture and smoothness feeling.
Potassium Cetyl Phosphate (SQ-EM 16P) is a highly effective anionic O/W emulsifier, widely used in sun care, skin care, and make-up products. This ingredient, with CAS numbers 19035-79-1 and 84861-79-0, offers exceptional stability across a broad pH range (5-9), making it suitable for formulations with high oil and pigment concentrations.
One of the key advantages of Potassium Cetyl Phosphate is its unique ability to stabilize high levels of UV filters, pigments, and both polar and non-polar oils. This makes it an ideal choice for complex formulations where stability and compatibility are crucial. Additionally, its mildness and excellent compatibility with skin are attributed to its similar structure to natural skin phospholipids, ensuring gentle performance and reduced irritation.
In high pigment formulations, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate not only enhances stability but also improves pigment dispersion and water resistance. This results in more vibrant and long-lasting cosmetic products, making it a preferred choice for make-up and sun care applications. Its wide pH range stability and excellent emulsifying ability further contribute to the creation of elegant textures and superior performance in final products.
