Cetearyl Alcohol
I’m a fatty, plant-derived alcohol, which means I’m a non-greasy thickener that helps products stay stable & moisturising.
Technical Term
Cetearyl Alcohol
Ingredient Class
Supportive ingredient
I’m a supporter: I help make sure formulas feel and work just right.
I’m a non-toxic emollient: I help thicken and stabilise formulas while feeling smooth on the skin.
How I'm made
I’m derived from plants like coconut, corn, and soy.
How I work
I’m safe for your skin and hair: I don’t dry you out or cause irritation. I’m actually very helpful: I help make creams, moisturisers, and hair products have stable formulas, which means I make them creamy and rich. As an emollient, I help form an oily layer that locks in moisture for skin and hair.Don’t let my name fool you—I’m not like a traditional alcohol: since I’m non-toxic and I help with moisturising, I never leave skin or hair dry.
