Cetyl-Stearyl Alcohol (50:50)

Cetyl-Stearyl Alcohol (50:50)

Cetyl-Stearyl Alcohol (50:50) is a balanced blend of Cetyl Alcohol (C16) and Stearyl Alcohol (C18) in equal proportion (50:50). It is a white, waxy solid derived from vegetable oils such as palm kernel or coconut oil. This fatty alcohol blend functions as a thickening agent, co-emulsifier, emollient, and stabilizer in cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and personal care formulations. The equal ratio provides an optimal balance between softness (from cetyl alcohol) and structure or firmness (from stearyl alcohol), resulting in smooth texture and stable emulsions.
