SP Crodafos™ CES MBAL
SP Crodafos™ CES MBAL is a non-ionic emulsifying and conditioning wax developed by Croda, designed to produce stable, thixotropic oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions. Its INCI name is Cetearyl Alcohol (and) Dicetyl Phosphate (and) Ceteth-10 Phosphate. This emulsifier offers unique properties that differentiate it from conventional emulsifying waxes. Emulsions formulated with Crodafos™ CES MBAL exhibit natural substantivity, enhanced oil deposition, and shear-thinning behavior, promoting the rapid and simultaneous release of both oil- and water-based active ingredients. These characteristics make it particularly suitable for applications requiring targeted delivery and effective performance. Crodafos™ CES MBAL is ideal for use in various personal care products, including sun care formulations, where it can contribute to improved SPF performance and water resistance. It is also suitable for hair care products, such as relaxers, where it aids in the rapid penetration of active ingredients.
