Cetearyl Glucoside CAS 246159-33-1

Cetearyl Glucoside is supplied as an alkyl polyglucoside-based nonionic emulsifier, derived from fatty alcohols and glucose, and positioned as a formulation ingredient for oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion systems. It is commonly used in combination with cetearyl alcohol to form stable emulsifier systems for creams and lotions.

In commercial supply, this material is typically provided as a solid flake or pellet, often as part of a formulated blend rather than a standalone pure substance, allowing improved processing and consistency in emulsification. It is suitable for use in cosmetic and personal care formulations where mildness, stability, and compatibility with other ingredients are required. Standard packaging and documentation (COA, TDS, SDS) are available for formulation development and bulk supply.

Packaging

Cetearyl Glucoside is supplied in solid form, typically as flakes or pellets, and packed in sealed, moisture-resistant containers such as bags, fiber drums, or lined cartons. Inner packaging is designed to protect the material from humidity and contamination during storage and transport. Packaging formats can be adjusted according to order quantity and export logistics requirements.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Keep containers tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption and contamination. Avoid exposure to excessive heat and direct sunlight, which may affect product consistency. Maintain package integrity during storage and transport to ensure stable handling and performance.
