I had the same experience with Ceteareth-25, and I believe they must be similar. If you want to check if this is an emulsifiyer, try to make an emulsion with it in a regular way (put it in an oil phase and melt it then mix with hot water phase). Cetyl Alcohol won’t form an emulsion.

yes, i was try this methode, start with 5 gram ceteareth-20 and 5ml coconut oil and 5ml hot water.. and can’t be emulsion

What temp are you melting and combining the phases at? Bring to at least 82 c and mix well. Cet 20/25 likes to clump when water is added until mixed from my experience.
I would contact your supplier and make sure it is what you ordered.
