Cetyl Alcohol

Give your formulations a smooth, creamy texture with Cetyl Alcohol. This fatty alcohol helps thicken products and improve their feel, making it a useful ingredient in moisturisers, body lotions, hair conditioners and creams.

Why use Cetyl Alcohol?

• Adds thickness: Helps create a richer cream or lotion.
• Improves texture: Gives products a smooth feel and better glide.
• Supports emulsions: Helps improve the consistency of oil-and-water formulas when paired with a suitable emulsifier.
• Versatile: Suitable for skincare and haircare formulations.

Formulation note: Cetyl alcohol is a consistency ingredient, not a complete emulsifying wax. Use it alongside an appropriate emulsifier and test the finished formula for stability.
