EXOcare TEW Flakes is a mixture of chemical compounds with the INCI name: Cetearyl Alcohol and Ceteareth‑18. The commercial product is available as a white or creamy, waxy solid in the form of flakes.

EXOcare TEW Flakes is used in the cosmetics industry, mainly as an ingredient of personal care cosmetics. It is perfect as an effective emulsifier and conditioner in cosmetics for washing and care of skin and hair.

In a formulation, it serves as an emulsifying base, especially in oil-in-water (O/W) preparations. It has high stability in a wide range of pH. It can be used as a primary or secondary emulsifier in the production of a wide range of balms, creams and pastes.

Its undoubted advantage is the ability to reduce the drying effect of anionic surfactants contained in a formulation. Thanks to its properties, it leaves the skin moisturized and covered with a delicate protective film.
