Product Info:
Cetearyl Alcohol is a fatty alcohol derived from coconut or palm oil, commonly used as an emulsifier, thickener, and stabilizer in cosmetic formulations. It enhances creaminess, spreadability, and viscosity in lotions, creams, conditioners, and body butters while providing a soft, non-greasy feel on the skin. Unlike drying alcohols, Cetearyl Alcohol is moisturizing and helps to condition both skin and hair while improving emulsion stability.

Formulation Guidelines:

• Must be melted in the oil phase of emulsions.
• Works well with emulsifiers like BTMS-50, Polawax, and Cetyl Alcohol.
• Ideal for creams, lotions, conditioners, and body butters.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture.
