Description
Cetearyl Alcohol is a vegetable sourced fatty alcohol that is a white, waxy mixture of cetyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol.
Used in skin care lotions, hair products, and creams due to its emollient, moisturizing, and foam boosting properties.
They help create smoother, thicker lotions, and cream. And used to create more stable foam products.
It stabilizes products, prevents separation, and thickens. Can also be used as a co-emulsifier.
Cetearyl alcohol is used to help soften the skin and hair and to thicken and stabilize cosmetic products, like lotions and hair products. As an emollient, cetearyl alcohol is considered an effective ingredient for soothing and healing dry skin.
Unless you have very sensitive skin, you probably don’t need to avoid products containing cetearyl alcohol. Not only is it considered safe and nontoxic for use on the skin and hair, but it’s also not drying or irritating like other types of alcohol.
Due to its chemical structure, cetearyl alcohol is even permitted by the FDA as an ingredient in products labeled “alcohol-free.”
