Steareth-20 is a non-ionic emulsifier for cosmetic oil-in-water and partially also for water-in-oil emulsions. It is suitable for skincare creams and lotions, deodorants, and antiperspirants, including in combination with other emulsifiers.

Based on vegetable raw materials, Steareth-20 provides stable emulsions over a wide pH range, emulsifying oils and fats in highly acidic or alkaline media. In addition, it can be used in combination with consistency-providing substances to form viscosity-enhancing gel structures in the external water phase.
