Replacement for c12-20 acid peg-8 ester and cetyl ricinoleate for creams
Hi all, I am trying to benchmark a face cream formulation and c12-20 acid peg-8 ester and cetyl ricinoleate are listed quite high up the ingredient list. I am trying to source for these, but unfortunately it does not look like any suppliers in my country carry these. Are there any replacements for these two ingredients that I can consider please? Thanks in advance for your kind help!

@ML3000 You may have better luck finding PEG-8 Stearate, virtually the same nonionic emulsifier, or try the glyceryl ester analog Polyglcyeryl-4 Stearate. As for cetyl ricinoleate, that is a builder not an emulsifier, so how about using the more common cetyl palmitate?
