EXOcare TE20 Flakes is a mixture under the INCI name of: Cetearyl Alcohol and Ceteareth-20. The product is commercialised in the form of white, waxy, solid flakes. EXOcare TE20 Flakes is manufactured based on renewable plant materials. It is used mainly in the production of cosmetics.
EXOcare TE20 Flakes is an excellent emulsifying base for O/W preparations. It is characterised by high stability over a wide pH range. It can be successfully used as the primary or secondary emulsifier in various creams, pastes and balms.
As EXOcare TE20 Flakes is not an ester and has a non-ionic character, it can be used in systems having pH far from neutral, such as hair straightening preparations, depilatory creams, creamy balms and skin care creams.
EXOcare TE20 Flakes can also be used as a conditioner and emollient in body wash and care cosmetics. In skin and hair care products it creates an occlusive layer (film) that prevents an excessive evaporation of water from the surface (an indirect moisturizing action). This allows effective skin and hair conditioning, softening and smoothing.
An unquestionable advantage of the product is that it reduces skin dryness caused by anionic surfactants. Due to its properties, EXOcare TE20 Flakes covers the skin with a protective layer and keeps it moisturised.
EXOcare TE20 Flakes is also a modifier of rheological properties. It means that the product allows achieving the desired consistency of end products, increasing their viscosity. It is particularly important in case of creams, milks and hair conditioners.
Moreover, the use of EXOcare TE20 Flakes in cosmetic formulations significantly improves other application properties. The product considerably improves the spreadability of cosmetics, reduces friction and promotes foaming.
EXOcare TE20 Flakes efficiently removes impurities and make-up from the skin. At the same time, it does not provoke excessive degreasing, which prevents the skin dryness. It is not sensitive to hard water.
EXOcare TE20 Flakes is a safe product. It does not provoke irritations nor allergic reactions. It can be used in combination with other non-ionic surfactants and in mixtures with anionic and cationic surfactants.
