Cetyl-stearyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol in solid waxy pastille form, white in color with a neutral aroma. This raw material, also referred to as C16-18, cetostearyl, or cetearyl alcohol, is a staple ingredient in cosmetic and personal-care formulations. Through the combination of cetyl and stearyl fatty alcohols, as its name suggests, this ingredient is created and most known to stabilize oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions, add opacity to a product, increase or stabilize the level of foam, and raise the viscosity of a liquid. Fatty alcohols, unlike ethanol alcohols, are natural emollients and preserve moisture in the skin and hair. Cetyl-stearyl alcohol is used in the manufacturing of a wide range of cosmetics such as body lotions, moisturizers, creams, shampoo, conditioner, mascara, lipstick, and hair dyes, to name a few.
