Montanov 68 Alternative, Cetearyl Alcohol (and) Cetearyl Glucoside Emulsifier
INCI: Cetearyl Alcohol (and) Cetearyl Glucoside
CAS No: 67762-27-0 & 246159-33-1 ( 54549-27-8 + 27836-65-3)
Performance structure: O/W non-ionic sugar-based emulsifier
SINOSURF® M68 is a non-ionic, liquid crystal emulsifier based on the HLB system. Liquid crystal emulsifiers create a lamellar or bilayered structure that mimics the lipid bilayers in our stratum corneum, which may help actives or lipids from our lotions penetrate our skin easier. They also help reduce transepidermal water loss as the lotions hold more water in contact with the skin for a longer period of time.
When formulating with this emulsifier, include it in the heated oil phase of your product. SINOSURF® M68 does best with a 25% oil phase, and works to emulsify natural oils as well as silicones and esters. Including a fatty alcohol like Cetyl or Cetearyl Alcohol can help increase the liquid crystal formation in the lotion. It is compatible with cationic ingredients, like Honeyquat and Cetrimonium Chloride. And it works well from pH 3 to 10, so it’s a good choice for making lotions as diverse as light facial moisturizers with AHAs and bleaching or depilatory creams.
Lotions made with SINOSURF® M68 are described as being lighter and more moisturizing than those made with non-liquid crystal emulsifiers.
A wide range of emulsifying capabilities, the emulsifying system exhibits excellent stability.
The thickening and excipient effect is obvious, and the use of hard oil or other thickeners can be reduced or unnecessary.
Produces a crystal clear paste with a soft and smooth skin feel and pleasant cosmetic properties.
It can limit TEWL(Trans Epidermal Water Loss), so it has the function of moisturizing.
Can produce liquid crystal, can improve the stability of solvent and produce moisturizing effect.
It is an excellent solvent for sunscreens, especially in sunscreen formulations.
It has high chemical stability to acid and alkali, and can be used to formulate special products such as hair removal creams, dyeing products, bleaching products and perm products.
Highly safe and mild, with a high level of skin tolerance, suitable for formulating products such as baby creams, anti-acne creams, face creams, etc.
Excellent biodegradability, completely biodegradable within 30 days.

Q1: What is the best natural alternative to Seppic’s Montanov 68 emulsifier?
A: You can choose SINOSURF® M68. It shares the exact same INCI composition: Cetearyl Alcohol (and) Cetearyl Glucoside (CAS 67762-27-0 & 246159-33-1). It mirrors the benchmark's melting point, HLB value, and lamellar structure creation.
Q2: What is the difference between SINOSURF® M68 and traditional ethoxylated (PEG) emulsifiers?
A: Traditional emulsifiers often contain PEG or Ethylene Oxide (EO), which can irritate sensitive skin and harm the environment. In contrast, SINOSURF® M68 is 100% bio-based, EO-free, and biodegradable. Instead of forming simple micelles, it forms a biomimetic liquid crystal matrix that strengthens the skin barrier, offering far superior moisturizing benefits compared to traditional PEG emulsifiers.
Q3: What is the recommended usage level and optimal pH range for Sinosurf® M68?
A: The standard dosage for SINOSURF® M68 ranges from 1% to 5% depending on the desired viscosity. It functions as a sole emulsifier from 3% to 5%, or at 1% to 3% when paired with co-emulsifiers or polymers. It exhibits excellent stability across a wide pH range of 3.0 to 11.0, making it ideal for both highly acidic (e.g., AHA/BHA) and alkaline formulations.
Q4: Is Cetearyl Alcohol (and) Cetearyl Glucoside safe for sensitive and acne-prone skin?
A: Yes, absolutely. This non-ionic glucoside-based blend is famous for being ultra-mild and non-comedogenic (it does not clog pores). Unlike harsh surfactants, it preserves the natural lipids of the skin barrier. This makes it a highly recommended ingredient for sensitive skin lines, hypoallergenic baby care lotions, and clean-beauty facial moisturizers.
Q5: Where can I buy bulk Cetearyl Alcohol (and) Cetearyl Glucoside at wholesale pricing?
A: Our brand SINOSURF® M68 guarantees consistent batch-to-batch quality, eco-certifiable compliance, and competitive factory-direct wholesale pricing. Contact our export team today to request a current price quote or to order a free testing sample for your laboratory!
