It is actually a mixture of cetyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol, combining the benefits of both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What it does:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the name <em>alcohol<\/em>, Cetearyl Alcohol is not drying or irritating. It is a waxy, emulsifying fatty alcohol that is essential for creating stable, luxurious cosmetic textures. Primary functions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Emulsion stabilizer and co-emulsifier:<\/strong> Works alongside primary emulsifiers to create and maintain stable oil-in-water (O\/W) emulsions, preventing separation and ensuring product consistency from first use to last.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Texture and viscosity builder:<\/strong> Adds body, richness, and a creamy, luxurious consistency to lotions and creams, significantly improving spreadability and the sensory experience of application.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Emollient:<\/strong> Provides immediate softening and smoothing of the skin&#8217;s surface, helping to reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL) by forming a protective, breathable film.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Opacifying agent:<\/strong> Contributes to the characteristic white, creamy appearance of emulsion products.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why we use it:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>We use vegetable-derived Cetearyl Alcohol as a foundational ingredient in emulsion chemistry. It is a key textural and stabilizing ingredient in our daily moisturizer and night cream. It allows us to achieve the rich, velvety, nourishing consistency for our formulas.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>INCI: CETEARYL ALCOHOLType:
