Cetearyl Alcohol (30:70) Emery C16-18 – Cosmetic & Haircare Grade
Cetearyl Alcohol (30:70) Emery C16-18 is a waxy, solid fatty alcohol blend composed primarily of Cetyl Alcohol and Stearyl Alcohol in a 30:70 ratio. This versatile ingredient is widely used in cosmetic and personal care formulations for its emollient, emulsifying, and thickening properties.
As an emollient, it helps moisturize and soften the skin by forming a protective barrier that reduces water loss. Its emulsifying ability allows the smooth blending of oil and water-based ingredients, creating stable and homogeneous formulations. Additionally, it enhances the viscosity and texture of creams, lotions, and haircare products, giving them a luxurious, creamy feel.
