The INCI names Ceteareth-n (where n is a number) refer to polyoxyethylene ethers of a mixture of high molecular mass saturated fatty alcohols (mainly cetyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol). The number n indicates the average number of etyhlene oxide residues in the polyoxyethylene chain.
These compounds are non-ionic surfactants work by attracting both water and oil at the same time, frequently used as emulsifiers in soaps and cosmetics.[1]
