Cetyl Alcohol

Emulsifying & Thickening Agent for Cosmetics

Cetyl Alcohol is a versatile emulsifier, thickener, and emollient used in skincare, haircare, and personal care formulations. It enhances the texture and stability of products while providing a soft, silky feel.

Looking for a versatile emulsifier, thickener, and emollient for your cosmetic formulations? Our Cetyl Alcohol is a high-purity, cosmetic-grade ingredient that enhances the texture, stability, and moisturising properties of skincare, haircare, and body care products.

What is Cetyl Alcohol?

Cetyl Alcohol is a fatty alcohol derived from natural sources, commonly used as a co-emulsifier, thickening agent, and skin-conditioning ingredient. Unlike drying alcohols, Cetyl Alcohol is non-irritating and highly moisturizing, making it perfect for creams, lotions, and hair conditioners.

Key Benefits of Cetyl Alcohol:

Emulsifying Agent – Helps blend oil and water-based ingredients in formulations.
Thickening & Stabilizing – Improves the viscosity and texture of creams and lotions.
Softening & Moisturizing – Conditions skin and hair, preventing dryness.
Silky Feel – Enhances spreadability and absorption for a luxurious finish.
Natural Origin – Gentle and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

Common Uses of Cetyl Alcohol:

Skincare: Used in creams, lotions, serums, and body butters for a smooth texture.
Haircare: A key ingredient in shampoos and conditioners for improved manageability.
Body Care: Found in body lotions, balms, and scrubs for enhanced hydration.
DIY Cosmetics: Ideal for homemade skincare and haircare formulations.

Step-by-Step Guide to Using Cetyl Alcohol

1. Determine Usage Rate

  • Recommended Usage: 2% - 10% depending on the desired consistency:

    • 2% - 5% for lightweight lotions and serums

    • 5% - 8% for thicker creams and body butters

    • Up to 10% for rich, conditioning hair products

2. Melt in the Oil Phase

  • Cetyl Alcohol is oil-soluble and should be added to the oil phase of your formulation.

  • Heat it to 60-70°C (140-158°F) until fully melted.

3. Blend with Water Phase (for Emulsions)

  • If making a lotion or cream, mix the heated oil phase (with Cetyl Alcohol) and water phase together.

  • Use an emulsifier (like Polawax or Emulsifying Wax) to ensure a stable mixture.

4. Cool & Adjust

  • After blending, allow the product to cool while stirring gently.

  • Add preservatives, fragrances, or active ingredients below 40°C (104°F) to prevent degradation.

5. Package & Store

  • Pour the finished product into a clean container.

  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
