Cetyl Alcohol (Fatty Alcohol) – Ideal for Cosmetics, Creams, Lotions & Industrial Use

Cetyl Alcohol, also known as a fatty alcohol, is a versatile raw material widely used in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and industrial industries. Despite its name, it is not a drying alcohol but a waxy, solid ingredient derived from natural oils such as palm or coconut.

In cosmetics and skincare, Cetyl Alcohol is an essential emulsifier, stabilizer, and thickening agent. It helps blend oil and water phases in creams, lotions, and conditioners, ensuring a smooth, rich, and stable texture. Unlike harsh alcohols, Cetyl Alcohol is non-drying and actually provides a moisturizing and softening effect on the skin. This makes it ideal for sensitive skin products and premium formulations.

For hair care, Cetyl Alcohol acts as a conditioning agent, leaving hair feeling soft, silky, and manageable. It improves spreadability of products while reducing greasiness, which is why it is a common ingredient in conditioners, leave-in treatments, and styling creams.

In pharmaceuticals, Cetyl Alcohol is used in ointments, medicinal creams, and lotions as a stabilizer and emollient, helping deliver active ingredients effectively while soothing the skin.

Beyond cosmetics, industrial applications of Cetyl Alcohol include its use as a lubricant, emulsifier, and processing aid in products such as candles, coatings, and lubricants. Its versatility ensures it remains a valuable ingredient across multiple sectors.
