About Steareth 2 Nonionic Surfactant Emulsifier

Steareth-2 is a waxy solid material that acts as an emulsifier in cosmetics and personal care products. It helps water and oil-based ingredients stay together to form an emulsion.
Steareth-2 is used in:
Personal cleanliness products, Deodorants, Suntan products, Fragrance products, Skin products, Eye products, Hair products.
Steareth-2 is polyethylene glycol ethers of stearic acid. Its ingredients are prepared by interacting with the chemical intermediate gas ethylene oxide with stearyl alcohol,

a process which forms an entirely new stable compound. The number that comes after (for instance, 2) indicates the average number of ethylene oxide units used in the preparation.

Chemical formula C22H46O3
Molar mass 358.6.
Melting point 4246C (107115F)
