Cetearyl Alcohol, is a fatty alcohol with emollient properties, primarily used in skincare as an emulsifier and thickener. It helps blend oil and water components, stabilise formulations, and improve the texture of beauty products. It enhances the product's spreadability, ensuring an even application. It is also gentle and kind for the skin, unlike SD or denatured alcohol, which are known to strip and dry the skin.
Cetearyl Alcohol’s emollient properties aid in skin hydration by preventing moisture loss. Derived from natural sources like coconut or palm oil, it's a non-irritating ingredient suitable for all skin types including sensitive ones. Its versatile, multifunctional role ensures that formulations are effective, stable, and pleasant to use.
