At Aloderma, transparency is key. We believe in empowering you with knowledge about the ingredients that nourish your skin, and cetearyl glucoside, found in our Aloe Vitality Hydrating Cream, Aloe Nourishing Hand Cream, and Aloe Soothing & Repairing Cream, deserves a closer look.
Cetearyl Glucoside is a non-ionic surfactant, meaning it lacks a formal charge, facilitating the seamless blending of water and oil phases in our formulations. Imagine it as a microscopic maestro, conducting the diverse ingredients into a harmonious, stable emulsion. But its role extends far beyond mere blending.
Here's where things get technical: cetearyl glucoside boasts a C16-C18 alkyl chain, derived from sustainable plant sources like coconut or palm oil. This chain interacts with both water and oil, creating a bridge between them. Additionally, the glucoside moiety, a sugar-derived unit, enhances its water solubility and biocompatibility.
This unique structure translates to several benefits for your skin:
- Cleansing: Cetearyl glucoside gently removes impurities without disrupting the skin's natural barrier function. Its mild nature makes it suitable even for sensitive skin.
- Hydration: The glucoside moiety attracts and retains water molecules, delivering long-lasting hydration and preventing dryness.
- Emolliency: The fatty acid chain imparts a smooth, silky feel, leaving your skin feeling soft and supple.
- Non-comedogenic: Rest assured, cetearyl glucoside won't clog your pores, making it ideal for all skin types.
- Biodegradability: Committed to sustainability, we appreciate its ability to readily break down in the environment.
But cetearyl glucoside isn't just about technical specs. It embodies our farm-to-skin philosophy:
- Plant-derived: Sourced from renewable resources, it aligns with our commitment to eco-friendly practices.
- Gentle: Its mild nature reflects our dedication to creating products suitable for even the most delicate skin.
- Effective: Its multifaceted properties contribute to the luxurious texture and efficacy of our creams.
