Cetyl Alcohol is an alcohol that is derived from fat, such as a vegetable oil like Coconut Oil or Palm Oil; hence it is also called Palmityl Alcohol.
When Cetyl Alcohol is added to natural cosmetic preparations, it functions as an agent that helps homogenize components that naturally separate (emulsifier), as a soothing lubricant (emollient), as a thickener, as an opacifier, and as a carrier for other ingredients in a formula. These stabilizing properties ensure that the oils and water remain combined, thus promoting an ideal, smooth texture that ultimately gives the final product an easy glide on the skin or hair.
Benefits
Cetyl Alcohol is skin-friendly with hydrating, conditioning, and softening properties that benefit both skin and hair.
Cetyl Alcohol is used as a moisturizer to treat or prevent dry, rough, scaly, itchy skin and minor skin irritations such as diaper rash, skin burns from radiation therapy.
It helps to ease dry skin and also make the skin appear smoother and softer.
Cetyl alcohol is oilier than most other alcohols giving it a moisturizing quality; this is why it is also used in conditioners. It can make hair feel thicker and softer. This moisturizing quality especially makes it useful in moisturizing shampoos.
