Cetyl Alcohol: A Non-Drying Emollient and Emulsifier for Skincare

Cetyl alcohols, the non-drying type, offer multiple benefits in skincare formulations. As an emollient, they provide a smooth, pleasant feel to the skin while helping to thicken the product's consistency. Acting as an emulsifier, they allow water and oil to blend seamlessly, improving the overall texture and stability of the formula. Often derived from coconut or palm kernel oil, this ingredient enhances both the effectiveness and sensory experience of skincare products.
