Overview of Cetyl Alcohol Powder

Cetyl Alcohol Powder is a fatty alcohol widely used in personal care and cosmetic formulations as an emollient, thickener, and stabiliser. It is typically derived from natural sources like coconut or palm oil and appears as a white, waxy powder.

In skincare and haircare products, Cetyl Alcohol Powder helps improve texture, consistency, and stability. It is commonly used in creams, lotions, conditioners, and hair serums, often formulated with ingredients like Stearyl Alcohol, Cetearyl Alcohol, and Glycerin for enhanced moisturising and emollient properties.
