Cetyl Alcohol NF is a plant-based fatty alcohol derived from coconut or palm oil. Essential for crafting cosmetic and personal care products, the alcohol is known for its ability to enhance texture, moisture retention, and formula stability. It comes in solid pellet form that can be melted and added to oil based or emulsified products.
As an emollient, Cetyl Alcohol forms a protective layer on the skin’s surface, helping lock in moisture and keep the skin feeling smooth, soft, and hydrated. Moreover, it is an effective emulsifier, which binds oil and water-based ingredients together, improving the stability of cosmetic formulas. By balancing the formula’s viscosity, Cetyl Alcohol NF can prevent separation, texture changes, and other issues that can occur over time. This is a national formula, guaranteeing quality and ensuring you know the formula.
