Potassium Cetyl Phosphate

Modern Emulsifier for Lightweight, Stable Formulas

Potassium Cetyl Phosphate is a mild, anionic emulsifier used in modern skincare to blend oil and water ingredients into smooth, stable emulsions. Derived from fatty alcohols and phosphate salts, it is especially prized for creating lightweight, non-greasy textures in moisturizers, sunscreens, and lotions.

This ingredient not only improves formulation stability but also enhances skin feel—helping products absorb quickly without leaving residue. It’s compatible with both high-performance actives and natural oils, making it a versatile choice for clean and advanced skincare alike.

Potassium Cetyl Phosphate is gentle on the skin, non-comedogenic, and suitable for sensitive or acne-prone types. Often found in oil-free or mattifying products, it contributes to that elegant, silky finish consumers love.
