Cetearyl Alcohol
$3.49
Description
Cetearyl alcohol is a blend of 2 fatty acids; cetyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol. Unlike traditional alcohols that can be drying to both skin and hair, fatty acids are great for skin and hair, adding emollient properties to emulsified or oil based products.
Cetearyl alcohol is a co-emulsifier, helping to stabilize emulsions, and a thickening agent. It has a soft feel in products and adds body without making your product feel heavy or greasy. This blend is 70% stearyl alcohol, and 30% cetyl alcohol.
This product comes as a solid, waxy pellet. It’s melted and then added to oil based or emulsified products. It’s also plant derived and biodegradable.
