Sodium Cetearyl Sulfate is a common ingredient in cosmetics and personal care products, acting as a surfactant, emulsifier, and foaming agent. It is derived from cetyl and stearyl alcohol, and is often used in hair care and skin care products. However, it has been linked to several health concerns, including cancer, allergies, and developmental and reproductive toxicity. It is a moderate eye irritant and can cause skin irritation. It is also used in SKINMIMICS® PRO MB, a product by Evonik Personal Care, which is a synergistic and powerful combination of 7 different Ceramides embedded in a modern and globally applicable emulsifier system and without listed preservatives.

Sodium Cetearyl Sulfate is a common ingredient in cosmetics and personal care products, but it has been linked to several health concerns, including cancer, allergies, and developmental and reproductive toxicity. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) has concluded that Sodium Cetearyl Sulfate is safe for use in cosmetics and personal care products at concentrations up to 2%, but the EWG has assigned it a low hazard score due to the potential for health concerns. Sulfates are a broader term for other synthetic sulfate-based chemicals such as sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and sodium laureth sulfate (SLES). These compounds are produced from petroleum and plant sources such as coconut and palm oil. They are commonly found in personal products and cleaning agents such as liquid soap, shampoos, laundry detergents, dish detergents, toothpaste, and bath bombs. The amount of SLS and SLES in a product depends on the manufacturer and can range from small amounts to almost 50 percent of the product. Sulfates have developed a bad reputation over the years due to their production process and the myth that they’re carcinogens. The largest side effect sulfates may have is the irritation they cause to eyes, skin, or scalp. Some people believe that sulfates can cause skin irritation, dryness, and acne. They may also be harmful to the environment and aquatic life.
