Cetearyl Alcohol: The plant-based all-rounder for consistency and care  Are you looking for an ingredient that not only adds structure to your cosmetic formulations but also improves the skin feel? Cetearyl Alcohol is an indispensable co-emulsifier that combines stability with intensive care. Derived from 100% plant-based sources, it is the ideal choice for sustainable and effective natural cosmetics. The perfect synergy: Cetyl and Stearyl Alcohol Cetearyl Alcohol consists of equal parts cetyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol. This combination makes it a true all-rounder for your DIY formulations:   Stability & Consistency: It gives emulsions (creams and lotions) the necessary body and ensures the phases remain stably bound together.  Moisture Retention: It has a pleasant lipid-replenishing effect and helps the skin retain its natural moisture without feeling greasy.  Superior Texture: Compared to pure cetyl alcohol, Cetearyl Alcohol offers higher substantivity—meaning it adheres better to the surface of the skin and hair, where it provides a protective effect.   A hair care hero Cetearyl Alcohol is a star not only in face creams but also in hair care products. Thanks to its smoothing properties, it significantly improves wet combability. It forms a protective coating around the hair without weighing it down, making it a standard ingredient in high-quality conditioners and hair treatments. Technical data & processing The ivory-colored pastilles are easy to handle and integrate perfectly into your existing recipes.  Property Details   Origin: 100% plant-based & biodegradable   Melting range: 49–56°C   Solubility: Oil-soluble   Appearance: Ivory-colored pastilles/pellets     Usage Instructions Cetearyl Alcohol is incorporated directly into the oil phase and melted together with the other oils and waxes. Since it melts at approximately 50°C, it is highly energy-efficient and easy to process. Sustainability Meets Performance By choosing Cetearyl Alcohol, you opt for an ingredient that not only optimizes your products but also protects the environment. It is fully biodegradable and supports modern, "green" formulations of the highest quality. Formulation Tip: Use Cetearyl Alcohol in combination with a primary emulsifier to precisely control the viscosity of your lotions. The higher the concentration, the firmer and richer the final product becomes.
