Ceto Stearyl Alcohol

Ceto Stearyl Alcohol is a widely used cosmetic-grade fatty alcohol valued for its role in enhancing the texture, stability, and sensory feel of personal care formulations. Derived from plant-based fatty acids, it appears as white flakes or pellets and is commonly incorporated into emulsions to improve consistency and spreadability. Its balanced composition makes it suitable for a wide range of skincare and haircare products.

In cosmetic formulations, Ceto Stearyl Alcohol functions as an emollient, thickening agent, and co-emulsifier, helping to create smooth, uniform, and aesthetically pleasing products. It supports the overall structure of creams and lotions while contributing to a soft, non-greasy finish. This ingredient is suitable for use in both rinse-off and leave-on cosmetic applications.
