Cetearyl alcohol and polysorbate 60 are ingredients in a self-emulsifying base for creams and lotions. They are used especially for high pH emulsions.
Cetearyl alcohol thickens and stabilizes the emulsion, while polysorbate 60 emulsifies. Emulsifying wax is usually 5% of the total formula, but can be used at a higher rate to create a thick lotion.
