Functions and effects of Steareth-25 in cosmetic products:
The main application of Steareth-25, among others in cosmetics, is primarily based on its emulsifying properties.
This is due to the structure of the molecule typical for surfactants.

The vast majority of cosmetics have the form of an emulsion.
This is the effect of the presence of a significant amount of ingredients of different chemical characteristics in the composition of the cosmetic formulation.

The Steareth-25 molecule, containing both a hydrophilic moiety (interacting strongly with water molecules) and a hydrophobic moiety (showing affinity for the oil phase), align at the phase boundary and, by reducing the surface tension, enable the combination of two immiscible phases (the water phase and the oil phase).
Due to its strong hydrophilic nature, Steareth-25 is perfect for creating oil-in-water emulsions.

Due to its very good emulsifying properties, Steareth-25 can be used for the preparation of emulsions at room temperature.
This is especially important in the case of active substances that are not very resistant to high temperatures.

As a surfactant, Steareth-25 is an ingredient in cosmetic products with cleaning properties.
Steareth-25 effectively removes impurities and dirt from the surface of the skin and hair.
The particles of Steareth-25 surround the contaminants, which detach from the cleaned surface and are then washed away.

In cosmetics, Steareth-25 is an effective foaming agent.
In addition, Steareth-25 is responsible for the stabilization of foam and improves its quality in a mixture with anionic surfactants.

Another role of Steareth-25 is to modify the rheological properties in formulations containing anionic surfactants by creating so-called mixed micelles.
The modification of rheological properties is the change in the viscosity of Steareth-25.

Achieving the desired value of the viscosity of the cosmetic formulation allows for obtaining the right consistency, which will ensure good performance characteristics and stability of Steareth-25.
Changing the rheological properties of the cosmetic improves its consistency.

As a solubilizer, Steareth-25 enables the incorporation of hardly soluble or water-insoluble ingredients into an aqueous solution, such as fatty substances, plant extracts or fragrances, which constitute an integral part of every cosmetic.
Steareth-25 has a strong softening, moisturising and conditioning effect thanks to the properties typical for emollients.

Steareth-25 reduces the itching and peeling of skin.
Steareth-25 maintains the level of moisture at the right level by creating an occlusive layer on the surface of the hair and skin, which prevents excessive evaporation of water.

Other applications of Steareth-25:
Apart from its main application in the cosmetics industry, Steareth-25 plays also an important role in detergents.
Steareth-25 is used as one of the ingredients in toilet tabs, also those that do not require plastic hangers.

Optimal use with gel-forming thickeners.
Compared to Steareth-20, Steareth-25 has a bit more gel-forming and thickening properties.

Applications of Steareth-25:
All kinds of emulsion-based cosmetic products like creams, lotions (especially sprayable lotions), foundations, hair conditioners, sunscreen products.

Background information on use in cosmetics of Steareth-25:
Polyethylene glycols (INCI: PEG-...) are poly condensation products of ethylene glycol, or polymerisation products of ethylene oxide.
The number added to the name refers to the mean number of ethylene oxide units in the substance.

The consistency of the PEG derivatives is increasingly solid with a growing degree of polymerisation.
PEGs with a mean molar mass of up to 600 g/mol are liquid, up to 1,000 g/mol wax-like and from 4,000 g/mol solid wax-like substances.

By mixing solid and liquid components, products of a creamy consistency are obtained which are used as water-free and water rinse-off bases.
With growing molar mass water solubility and hygroscopicity (ability to absorb moisture) of the polyethylene glycols decrease.

Surfactants are so-called detergent substances and have a major significance in cosmetics for the cleansing of the skin and hair.
Surfactants are substances which, based on their molecular structure, are able to reduce the surface tension of a liquid.

In this way it is possible that two actually not mixable substances, such as oil and water, can be finely mixed.
Because of their properties, surfactants have manifold uses in cosmetics: they can cleanse, produce foam and act as emulsifiers and mix substances with one another.

In shampoos, shower gels and soaps, surfactants are, for instance, used to wash fat and soil particles with water off from the body.
Surfactants are also used in toothpaste.
Here they promote during tooth cleaning the rapid and full dissolution and distribution of the paste in the mouth.

CosIng functions:
Emulsion Stabilising Agent

The surfactants used in cosmetic products are primarily produced synthetically on the basis of vegetable raw materials.
Surfactants are often used in combination to equally meet all desired requirements – like dissolution of soil and formation of foam in combination with a good skin tolerance – in the best possible manner.
Through a skilled combination of a surfactant – viewed on its own – with unfavourable skin tolerance but a very good soil removal property with a very mild, skin protecting surfactant altogether a product with good cleansing properties and the same good skin tolerances is obtained.

Emulsifiers are often used in cosmetics as excipients.
They allow actually unmixable components like oil and water to be brought in a permanently stable emulsion.

In this way both aqueous and oily care and active ingredients can be used in one and the same product in cosmetics.
Emulsifiers are able to do that since their molecules consist of a lipophilic and a hydrophilic part.

In this way they can reduce the interfacial tension which actually exists between two incompatible substances like fat and water.
Emulsifiers are, more particularly, used for creams, lotions and cleansing agents.

At present emulsifiers are, however, more than only excipients which keep an emulsion stable.
Fatty acid esters on the basis of sugar, lecithin or glycerin monodistearate contribute, for instance, to improving the moisture balance of the skin and are, therefore, also considered as cosmetic active ingredients.
