Cetostearyl Alcohol is a fatty alcohol blend of Cetyl and Stearyl Alcohol, commonly used as an emollient, emulsifier, and thickener in personal care products. It enhances the texture and stability of creams, lotions, shampoos, and conditioners by providing a smooth, rich feel. Unlike drying alcohols, Cetostearyl Alcohol helps retain moisture and improves the spreadability of skincare and haircare formulations. It is widely used in both water-in-oil and oil-in-water emulsions.
