Cetearyl Alcohol

Cetearyl Alcohol

Cetearyl Alcohol is a versatile fatty alcohol used to thicken, stabilize and improve the texture of lotions, creams, conditioners and hair care products. It creates a rich, silky consistency while helping emulsions remain stable.

Unlike drying alcohols, Cetearyl Alcohol is a waxy, moisturizing ingredient that adds body and improves slip.
