Cetostearyl alcohol is a mixed fatty alcohol used as a nonionic emulsifier, thickener, and consistency-giving agent in topical and cosmetic formulations.
It stabilizes oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions, improves viscosity, and provides a rich, creamy skin feel.
Commonly used in creams, lotions, ointments, hair conditioners, and dermatological preparations.
Its excellent compatibility with oils and surfactants makes it a versatile base ingredient for high-quality emulsions.
