ROKAnol® T25 PILLS, identified by its INCI name Ceteareth-25, are solid, white pastilles with a waxy texture. This non-ionic surfactant is derived from renewable vegetable sources and is primarily utilized in cosmetic and detergent applications. Its solidification occurs around 40°C.
ROKAnol® T25 PILLS functions primarily as an emollient, emulsifier, and solubilizer. It is typically combined with other compounds, such as alcohols and fatty acids, to help dissolve the other ingredients in formulations. Due to its high degree of ethoxylation, cetostearyl alcohol in ROKAnol® T25 PILLS exhibits a strong hydrophilic nature, making it ideal for forming stable oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions. The product is especially effective when used with other emulsifiers like glyceryl stearate, forming particularly stable emulsions. Its excellent emulsifying properties enable the preparation of emulsions at room temperature, which is crucial for preserving the integrity of heat-sensitive active substances commonly found in emulsions.
ROKAnol® T25 PILLS is among the most widely used conditioning agents and emollients in cleansing and skincare cosmetics. Emollients are agents that soften, moisturize, and reduce itching and flaking of the skin. When used in skin and hair care products, ROKAnol® T25 PILLS creates an occlusive film on the surface, preventing excessive water evaporation and thereby softening and smoothing the skin and hair. The product mitigates the drying effects of anionic surfactants, keeping the skin surface moisturized and protected. It also improves the consistency and viscosity of creams, lotions, and hair conditioners, enhancing their application properties by improving distribution and lubrication. In the detergent industry, ROKAnol® T25 PILLS is highly effective as a primary ingredient in toilet blocks, including those that do not require plastic hangers.
ROKAnol® T25 PILLS is safe, stable, preservative-free, biodegradable, and compliant with cosmetic directives.
