Someone please help!!
Hello all! I’ve ordered ceteareth-25 from a company suggested on this forum but my question is if 1,2 dioxane and ethylene oxide is considered a carcinogen then can you please explain to me this process and is the ceteareth-25 still considered safe to use since it contains ethylene oxide? This is from the company’s website:
(Vegetable oils are processed to fatty alcohols (mainly cetyl alcohol & stearyl alcohol) which then are ethoxylated with ethylene oxide (no. 25 indicates number of ethylene oxide residues).
Can some please explain this process ☝️because I’m a little confused.
Please help I am new to formulating and don’t totally understand some terms or processes and this is one of them. Can someone please shed some light for me. I’m trying to create a product that one day soon I can sell to the public and I don’t want to have an unsafe product and not know it. Thanks!
