Cetyl alcohol

(0 review)
Cetyl Alcohol is a fatty alcohol derived from natural vegetable oils or synthetic sources. It is widely used in cosmetic and personal care formulations as an emollient, thickener, stabilizer, and co-emulsifier. Unlike drying alcohols, cetyl alcohol is non-volatile and provides a creamy texture and smooth sensory feel. It helps improve viscosity, enhance emulsion stability, and impart a soft, conditioned feel to skin and hair. Cetyl Alcohol is commonly used in creams, lotions, conditioners, hair masks, deodorants, and cleansing products. It is especially valued for improving product body and richness while supporting long-term formulation stability. Suitable for both leave-on and rinse-off products, cetyl alcohol is a versatile, cost-effective ingredient used across skincare, haircare, and personal care formulations.
