Cetearyl Alcohol (CETOSTEARYL)

Description

Cetostearyl alcohol (a blend of cetyl and stearyl alcohols) is a gentle, plant-derived fatty alcohol. In skincare, it acts as a non-comedogenic emollient and stabilizer that prevents transepidermal water loss. In haircare, it smooths the cuticle, reduces frizz, and improves “slip”.

USES/BENEFITS

Skincare:

Deep Hydration: Acts as an emollient that softens the skin while forming a protective barrier to lock in moisture.

Texture & Stability: Functions as a thickening and emulsifying agent, ensuring oil and water phases don’t separate in creams and lotions.

Enhanced Application: Improves spreadability and gives products a luxurious, creamy feel.

Non-Drying: Unlike drying alcohols (like ethanol), it hydrates and is gentle enough for sensitive skin.

Haircare:

Frizz Control: Smoothes the hair cuticle, reducing frizz and flyaway.

Superior Slip: Makes combing and detangling easier by reducing friction between hair strands.

Conditioning: Forms a lightweight, protective layer that seals in hydration without weighing the hair down.

Prevents Breakage: Fatty acids within the alcohol help strengthen the hair, minimizing split ends.
