Manic Panic Semi-Permanent Hair Color Cream - Enchanted Forest 118ml
Enchanted Forest is a deep teal green hair dye with blue undertones that gives hair dark, earthy tones.

Ingredients Details
Ceteareth-20
Common Name(s): Polyethylene glycol cetearyl ether,peg-20 cetearyl ether
CAS Number: 68439-49-6
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides high-hlb o/w emulsification for stable cream formation from ethoxylated cetearyl alcohol.
Why It's Used: Classic self-emulsifying wax component for standard pharmaceutical and cosmetic cream formulation.
How It Works: 20 eo units on cetearyl alcohol chain provide hlb ~15-17 for strong o/w emulsification. often pre-blended with cetearyl alcohol as 'emulsifying wax' for simplified cream making. combined low-hlb cetearyl alcohol + high-hlb ceteareth-20 forms a balanced self-emulsifying system.
Typically Found In: Classic pharmaceutical and cosmetic creams
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient โ ethoxylated fatty alcohol emulsifier
Secondary Functions: Skin conditioning
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 1%โ8%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Conditional โ peg petroleum; cetearyl vegetable
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Commercially produced for cosmetic use. verify vegan/halal status with supplier.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Well-tolerated by most skin types.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Good safety profile at recommended concentrations. ewg score: 1โ2.
Works Well With: Standard skincare actives
Avoid Combining With: No known significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Ceteareth-20's combination with cetearyl alcohol in the classic 'emulsifying wax nf' creates what is called a 'mixed emulsifier system' where the fatty alcohol forms lamellar crystal phases that physically trap and stabilize oil droplets. this physical (lamellar crystal) + chemical (hlb balance) dual stabilization provides superior stability compared to either component alone.

Why It's Used: Most potent cosmetic preservative โ mit provides effective preservation at concentrations 10-100ร lower than most other preservatives, enabling clean-label preservation at minimal ingredient load.
How It Works: Electrophilic isothiazolinone ring reacts with bacterial thiol enzymes (glutathione, coa-dependent enzymes) via michael addition for rapid kill. very potent โ mic vs e. coli 0.06ฮผg/ml (vs phenoxyethanol mic ~400ฮผg/ml โ 6000ร more potent). rapidly biodegradable.

SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Eu regulation 2014/1298: mit banned from leave-on products. max 15ppm in rinse-off only. contact sensitiser โ causes occupational dermatitis epidemic in hairdressers and consumers. sccs noted no safe level for leave-on. 2016 eu restriction driven by major sensitisation epidemic.
Works Well With: Standard skincare actives
Avoid Combining With: No known significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Mit's sensitisation epidemic (2010-2015) is one of the most significant cosmetic safety events in modern dermatology: a dramatic increase in contact allergy patch test positive rates from <1% (2005) to 7% (2015) in the eu was directly traceable to the widespread introduction of mit in leave-on products. this epidemic prompted the fastest eu cosmetic regulatory action in history and demonstrates the critical importance of patch test surveillance in monitoring emerging cosmetic allergens.
