Derived from coconut oil fatty acids and maize glucose.
✅ PEG-Free & Nonionic:
Zero ethoxylated groups, ethylene oxide, or dioxane risks.
✅ Liquid Crystal Technology:
Forms stable, skin-friendly lamellar structures that enhance emulsion integrity.
✅ ECOCERT-Certified:
Meets rigorous natural/organic standards.
✅ Skin & Eco-Friendly:
Non-irritating (per CIR) and 100% biodegradable in 28 days (OECD 301B).

Technical Highlights

Property	Specification
INCI	Cetearyl Glucoside & Cetearyl Alcohol
Appearance	White to off-white granular solid
Dosage	0.1–5% (Essence to creams)
pH Range	4.5–7.5 (5% aqueous solution)
Melting Point	61–65°C
Shelf Life	2 years (room temperature, sealed)

Proven Stability: Beyond Industry Standards

DropCare® CG68 delivers exceptional emulsion stability across rigorous tests:

Normal Conditions: 100% emulsion index (no stratification).
Centrifugal Stress (4,000 rpm, 10 min): >70% emulsion index.
Freeze-Thaw Cycles (-18°C↔25°C): >95% stability after 2 cycles.

📌 Note: Stability decreases at extreme pH (pH ≤3 or ≥9). Optimal performance between pH 5–7.

Liquid Crystals: The Science Behind Superiority

Under polarized microscopy (400x), CG68 forms lamellar liquid crystals at the oil-water interface. These structures:

Enhance emulsion stability.
Improve active delivery.
Create unique sensory textures.
Crucially, non-polar oils (e.g., white oil) do NOT disrupt crystal formation!

Versatile Applications

Product Type	Recommended Dosage	Texture Outcome
Serums/Essences	0.1–1%	Translucent emulsions
Lotions	1–3%	Light, fluid milks
Creams	3–5%	Rich, stable creams
Sunscreens	2–4%	High SPF compatibility
Hair Conditioners	1–3%	Silky, non-greasy feel

Compatible With:

Silicones, plant oils, and cationic surfactants.

Why Formulators Love DropCare® CG68

Clean & Green: No PEGs, solvents, or synthetic reagents.
Future-Proof: Meets global biodegradability regulations.
Performance-Driven: Unmatched stability in stress tests.
Texture Innovator: Enables translucent→opaque textures with minimal dosage adjustments.

The Bottom Line

DropCare® CG68 isn’t just an emulsifier – it’s a commitment to sustainable, high-performance cosmetics. Whether you’re crafting a featherweight essence or a rich anti-aging cream, its liquid crystal technology ensures your formulas stand the test of time (and temperature!).
