Potassium Cetyl Phosphate: A Versatile Emulsifier for Premium Cosmetic Formulations
In the dynamic world of cosmetics and personal care, the choice of raw materials is paramount to product efficacy and consumer satisfaction. Among the indispensable ingredients, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate (PCP) stands out as a highly versatile and effective emulsifier. Known by various names such as Crodafos MCK, Potassium Hexadecyl Hydrogenphosphate, and Amphisol K, this exceptional compound, identified by CAS No. 19035-79-1, is a cornerstone for creating stable, high-performance cosmetic products. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. proudly offers this premium-grade ingredient, ensuring the highest standards of quality and consistency for formulators worldwide.
Potassium Cetyl Phosphate is a potassium salt of a complex mixture of esters of phosphoric acid and cetyl alcohol. It typically presents as a white to off-white powder, boasting a purity of 98% minimum. This high purity is critical for cosmetic applications, where even trace impurities can affect product stability and safety. As a leading chemical company, NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. maintains stringent quality control measures to deliver a product that consistently meets these demanding specifications, providing an excellent foundation for your innovative formulations.
At its core, PCP functions as an outstanding oil-in-water (O/W) anionic emulsifier. Its unique chemical structure allows it to effectively blend immiscible oil and water phases, creating smooth, homogenous, and highly stable emulsions. This capability is particularly vital for challenging formulations, such as those containing high concentrations of UV filters or emollients. Unlike some other emulsifiers, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate is pre-neutralized to the potassium salt, simplifying the manufacturing process and allowing for rapid, predictable viscosity development without common issues like "fish eyes" or dispersion problems often associated with other thickeners.
One of the most compelling advantages of Potassium Cetyl Phosphate is its ability to significantly boost the Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of UV filters, making it an ideal choice for advanced sunscreen formulations. Its inherent properties facilitate the creation of water-resistant sun protection products, crucial for long-lasting efficacy during outdoor activities. Beyond sunscreens, formulators appreciate its contribution to a pleasant skin feel and excellent spreadability, enhancing the sensory experience of a wide range of cosmetic applications. Furthermore, its PEG-free nature aligns perfectly with the growing demand for natural and clean-label cosmetic solutions.
The stability profile of Potassium Cetyl Phosphate is another major benefit. It exhibits remarkable compatibility with a broad variety of oil blends and active ingredients, including acids (like AHAs/BHAs) and vitamins (such as Vitamin C and Retinol). This high tolerance to electrolytes and a wide pH range (typically 4.5 to 8.5) ensures emulsion integrity and performance, even in complex or active-rich formulations. Moreover, its mild and non-irritating profile makes it suitable for sensitive skin applications, including baby care products and eye creams, minimizing potential for adverse reactions.
The versatility of Potassium Cetyl Phosphate allows for its extensive use across numerous personal care product categories. It is commonly found in:
