Cetiol HE

Cetiol® HE (PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate) is a hydrophilic emollient and solubility promoter from BASF, designed to deliver lightweight care and superior formulation performance. Ideal for shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and hair care products, it helps solubilize essential oils and active ingredients, enhances the skin’s lipid layer, and reduces irritation caused by surfactants. Thanks to its self-emulsifying properties, Cetiol® HE supports easy, cold-process emulsions while imparting a soft, smooth, and non-greasy feel—perfect for creating modern, mild, and effective personal care formulations.
