CEB-N is a multifunctional natural-origin emulsifier and stabilizing system used to create smooth, stable creams and lotions by binding oil and water together.
In cosmetic formulations, CEB-N is used to:
  • Form and stabilize emulsions, preventing separation over time
  • Create a creamy, elegant texture with good spreadability
  • Support mild, skin-friendly formulations, suitable for a wide range of personal care products
  • Simplify formulation, combining emulsification and viscosity-building in one system
Because of its balanced performance and gentle profile, CEB-N is commonly used in lotions, creams, and DIY or professional cosmetic formulations where stability, ease of use, and a pleasant skin feel are essential.

CEB-N® is a multifunctional, nonionic emulsifying system designed to create stable, uniform cosmetic emulsions with a smooth, lightweight skin feel. It is a patented-process blend of plant-derived emulsifiers, fatty alcohols, and naturally derived polymers that together support emulsification, viscosity building, and formulation stability.

CEB-N® is suitable for oil-in-water (O/W) and water-in-oil (W/O) systems and is commonly used in clean beauty, sensitive-skin, and baby care formulations due to its gentle performance and favorable safety profile.

Ingredient Origin & Composition (Retail-Ready Language)

CEB-N® is composed of renewable, plant-derived ingredients, including:

  • Cetearyl Alcohol: Plant-derived fatty alcohol blend used to improve texture and stability

  • Xanthan Gum: A naturally derived polymer produced via fermentation, used for viscosity control and stabilization

  • Polyglyceryl-10 Stearate: A plant-derived, biodegradable nonionic emulsifier

  • Glyceryl Monostearate: A vegetable-derived emulsifier and emollient

Together, these ingredients function as a single, multifunctional system, reducing the need for multiple separate emulsifiers or thickeners.

CEB-N® is used to:

  • Emulsify oil and water phases
