Application of Cetostearyl Alcohol

  • Emulsifier: Cetostearyl Alcohol acts as a reliable emulsifier in cosmetic and skincare formulations, blending oil and water phases to create stable, smooth emulsions. This makes it a key ingredient in creams, lotions, and moisturizers.
  • Thickener: It serves as a thickening agent, improving the viscosity and luxurious feel of products. This helps formulators design rich, creamy lotions and conditioners that deliver premium sensory experiences.
  • Emollient: As an emollient, Cetostearyl Alcohol helps soften and condition the skin, reducing dryness by forming a protective barrier that locks in moisture.
  • Stabilizer: It enhances formulation stability by preventing separation of ingredients over time, ensuring long-lasting product quality.
  • Foam Booster: In shampoos and body washes, Cetostearyl Alcohol improves foam stability and texture, enhancing the cleansing experience.
