Cetyl Alcohol used in making your own skincare at home

Cetyl Alcohol - 50g

  • Your Cart Subtotal$5.00

Cetyl Alcohol is a 100% natural, vegetable derived fatty alcohol, used widely in the cosmetic and personal care industry.

It is commonly used as an emollient, emulsifier, carrying agent and thickener in many cosmetic and personal care products.

As an emulsifier, it helps to bind and keep product ingredients from separating (oil and water), as well as giving products better spreadability. As a thickening agent and surfactant, it helps to increase the viscosity (thickness) of the product and can also increase the foaming capacity.

Often mistaken as an "alcohol" (usually referring to ethyl or rubbing alcohol, both of which are often very drying to the skin), it is in fact, quite the opposite! Cetyl Alcohol is well known to condition and soften hair and skin, so is also often added to products to increase its moisturising properties.

Common Uses:

Commonly used in products such as skin lotions, moisturizers & creams, sunscreens, shampoos & conditioners, hair removal creams, hair mousse, hair dyes, mascaras, lipsticks, cleansers, and many more!

Other Names: Palmitic alcohol

Storage: Keep in a cool, dark place to maintain freshness and achieve maximum shelf life. If refrigerated, bring to room temperature before using.
