Ceteareth-6

Ceteareth-6 is a chemical compound that belongs to the group of polyethylene glycol ethers of cetanol. It is an ingredient used in various cosmetic products as an emulsifier, which means that it helps to mix water and fats. This is because it maintains consistency and prevents the cosmetic product from 'breaking down' into its individual components. Ceteareth-6 therefore ensures that the blend retains the same texture and properties over an extended period of time.

However, confusing ceteareth-6 with biotin or vitamin H is incorrect. Biotin, also known as vitamin H, is a completely different substance that is primarily important for the health of the skin, hair and nails. It plays a vital role in the metabolism of fats and sugars in the body. Biotin is a common ingredient in dietary supplements to promote hair and nail growth, but it is also commonly found in cosmetics such as shampoos, conditioners or face creams where it works in skin and hair regeneration.

Timo, the delivery of ceteareth-6 and biotin in one product could provide an effective solution for skin and hair care. However, there is currently no product on the market that combines these two substances.
