Cetearyl Alcohol Benefits:
Product Stabilizer

Cetearyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol that can either be naturally derived from plants or synthetically derived as a byproduct of petroleum jelly. Cetearyl alcohol functions as an emulsifier that can help stabilize formulas with varying ingredient solubility. Due to its emulsifying properties, cetearyl alcohol is prevalently used in a wide variety of skincare products such as lotions, creams, serums, sunscreens, and conditioners to allow for more effective skin benefitting results. 1
