Product Information

• Name: Cetearyl alcohol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Cetearyl alcohol is a type of fatty alcohol, which is derived from natural sources like coconut oil or palm kernel oil. It is a combination of cetyl and stearyl alcohols. This compound functions primarily through its emulsifying properties, allowing oil and water to mix effectively and form stable emulsions. It does this by reducing surface tension, thus facilitating the blending of disparate ingredients.
