Cetyl Alcohol

Cetyl Alcohol is a widely used cosmetic-grade fatty alcohol valued for its ability to improve the texture, stability, and sensory feel of personal care formulations. Derived from plant-based sources, it appears as white flakes or pellets and blends smoothly into oil and water phases during formulation. Cetyl Alcohol is commonly used to enhance the consistency of creams, lotions, and conditioners without leaving a heavy or greasy feel.

In skincare and haircare applications, Cetyl Alcohol functions as an emollient, thickener, and stabilising agent. It helps create smooth, elegant formulations with improved spreadability and a soft, velvety finish. Suitable for a wide range of cosmetic products, Cetyl Alcohol supports professional-quality textures in both rinse-off and leave-on formulations.
