Cetearyl Alcohol is a fatty alcohol derived from natural palm oil, it functions primarily as an emulsifier, stabilizer and thickening agent in various formulations. Cetearyl Alcohol helps to create stable emulsions, ensuring that ingredients remain well-mixed and effective over time. Its emollient properties also make it valuable in personal care products, such as hand soaps and lotions, where it provides a smooth, creamy texture and helps to lock in moisture. Additionally, Cetearyl Alcohol enhances the foaming capacity of detergents and shampoos, contributing to a rich lather that improves the user experience.
