| Description | Cetearyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol that is commonly used in cosmetic and skincare products as an emollient, texture enhancer, and viscosity controlling agent. Despite the name, it is not a drying or irritating alcohol like ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, or methanol. It is derived from natural sources such as coconut oil and is a mixture of cetyl and stearyl alcohols. Cetearyl alcohol works by forming a protective barrier on the skin and preventing moisture loss, making it popular in moisturizers, lotions, and creams. It is also used as an emulsifier to bind water and oil-based ingredients together, giving consistency to products such as hair conditioners and body washes. Additionally, cetearyl alcohol is a mild ingredient that is well-tolerated by most skin types and does not typically cause irritation or allergic reactions. |
