Potassium Cetyl Phosphate … Are you using it?
I had a discussion with a cosmetic chemist…and we were chewing on the concept of the ideal anionic to pair with non-ionics, to co-emulsify an emulsion.
Her recommendation was Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, over the GSC and/or SSG I normally use. I suppose since sourcing small pak of Potassium Cetyl Phosphate appears to be difficult…I have overlooked it. Now I am quite intrigued. So questions….
1) Is this widely used as a co-emulsifier…but people just don’t find it romantic enough to discuss?
2) Anyone aware of a USA small-pak source?
If you have used it….do you have any pros or cons?
When I search this forum…I only find two passing mentions!
Aloha.

A customer of mine purchased from making cosmetics https://www.makingcosmetics.com/Z-EMF-POTCETPH-01-25000.html?lang=default&locale=en
potassium cetyl phosphate is reported to be used in 375 formulations, the majority of which are leave-on formulations such as moisturizers, sunscreens and make up removers. Per
However, always obtain the CG rather than tech grade. Ask them if they can supply you for a sample or ask for smaller qty. LC is good for that as well as another place on EC can’t recall, maybe cosmetic chemistry store?
