Fatty Alcohols are high molecular weight, waxy alcohols derived from natural fats and oils. Commonly used in personal and home care formulations, they function as emollients, emulsifiers, and thickening agents. Fatty alcohols such as cetyl, stearyl, and cetearyl alcohol help improve texture, stability, and moisture retention in products like lotions, conditioners, creams, and cleansers. They are non-irritating, biodegradable, and suitable for sensitive skin formulations.
