BEHENETH-5

CAS Number: 26636-40-8
Molecular Formula: C32H66O6
Molecular Weight: 546.9

Lipophilic emulsifier; forms emulsions with good temperature resistance

"Beheneth-" refers to a PEG (polyethylene glycol) ether of behenyl alcohol. 
The number after "Beheneth-" indicates the average number of molecular units -CH2-CH2-O-.

Beheneth-5 is a derivative of polyethylene glycol and non-drying behenyl alcohol that functions as an emulsifier and surfactant in skin care products. 
Beheneth-5 can be synthetic or plant-derived.

Beheneth-5 is a nonionic, polyethylene glycol ether of behenyl alcohol.

Beheneth-5 is a new emulsifying wax based on a lower HLB blend of high molecular weight compounds. 
This higher molecular weight emulsifier produces emulsions with 3-5% usage levels in water. 

This type of emulsion is creamy in consistency, very light and hydrating on the skin and produces viscosities ranging from 2500- 4500cps. 
Beheneth-5 functions as an emulsifier for W/O and O/W, mild thickener, solublizer, and skin conditioning. 
Beheneth-5 is soluble in most cosmetic raw materials that are common in the emulsion oil phase.

Beheneth-5 is a rare cosmetic ingredient, with about 0.02% of the products in our database containing Beheneth-5.

Beheneth-5 is a non-ionic, low HLB emulsifier designed for multiple formula types. 
Beheneth-5 can be used in multiple formula types including low pH systems. 

This O/W emulsifier produces creamy hydrating products. 
Beheneth-5 is suitable for any cosmetic application, including cleansers, hair care, skin and sun care. 

Beheneth-5 will work well in low pH systems for the skin. 
Beheneth-5 is designed to emulsify but not thicken, allowing formulators to strategically plan their system with the thickener best for them.

Emulsifiers, effects of Beheneth -5, -10, -20, -25 are derivatives of polyethylene glycol and non -drying runhenyl alcohol, which act as emulsifiers and surface active substances in skin care products.
Can be synthetic or derived from plants.

Emulsifiers are often used as auxiliary substances in cosmetics. 
They make it possible to bring components that are actually not miscible with each other, such as oil and water, into a permanently stable emulsion. 

In cosmetic products, both aqueous and oily care and active ingredients can be used in a single product. 
Emulsifiers are able to do this because their molecules consist of a fat-loving (lipophilic) and a water-loving (hydrophilic) part. 

This allows them to reduce the interfacial tension that actually exists between two incompatible substances such as fat and water. 
Emulsifiers are used in particular for creams, lotions and cleaning agents. 
In the meantime, however, emulsifiers are much more than just auxiliary substances that keep an emulsion stable. 

Polyethylene glycols (INCI: PEG-...) are polycondensation products of ethylene glycol or polymerisation products of ethylene oxide. 
The number attached to the name indicates the average number of ethylene oxide units in the substance. 

The consistency of the PEG derivatives becomes increasingly firm as the degree of polymerization increases. 
PEGs with an average molar mass of up to 600 g/mol are liquid, up to 1000 g/mol are waxy and from 4000 g/mol are solid, waxy substances. 

By mixing solid and liquid components, products with a creamy consistency are obtained, which are used as water-free and water-washable bases. 
With increasing molar mass, the water solubility and hygroscopicity (moisture absorption capacity) of the polyethylene glycols decrease.

Beheneth-5 has an emulsifying effect, which means that Beheneth-5 allows oily and water components to combine. 
Beheneth-5 can also be a surfactant. 

Beheneth-5 is NOT / should not be an ingredient of natural cosmetics. 
Pregnant women should be careful with this emulsifier. 
Besides, Beheneth-5 is not harmful to the body.

Beheneth-5 is a derivative of polyethylene glycol and beyl alcohol. 
Beheneth-5 can be of both plant origin and synthetically produced.

A synthetic or plant-derived derivative of polyethylene glycol and behenyl alcohol that functions as an emulsifier and can also be a surfactant agent.
Beheneth-5 is a nonionic, polyethylene glycol ether of behenyl alcohol.
