Cetyl Alcohol

Cetyl Alcohol is a high-purity, cosmetic-grade fatty alcohol derived from natural sources. Widely used in skincare, haircare, and personal care formulations, it acts as an emollient, thickener, and emulsifier. Known for its skin-softening properties and smooth texture, Cetyl Alcohol enhances the stability and feel of creams, lotions, and conditioners without making the skin greasy.

Benefits:

1. Provides a silky smooth texture to cosmetic products
2. Enhances emulsion stability and viscosity
3. Moisturizes and softens skin
4. Improves spreadability and absorption
5. Non-irritating and suitable for sensitive skin

How to Use:

• Usage Rate: Add 1% to 5% by weight in the oil phase of your formulation.
• Melting Point: 49–52°C – melt with other oils before emulsifying.
• Formulation Note: Best used with other emulsifying agents for optimal texture and stability.
