Overview of Cetyl Stearate
Cetyl Stearate is a fatty acid ester widely used in cosmetic, personal care, and pharmaceutical formulations as an emollient, thickener, and skin-conditioning agent. It appears as a white to pale yellow waxy solid and is valued for enhancing texture, stability, and sensory properties in formulations.
In personal care and cosmetic products, Cetyl Stearate is commonly used in creams, lotions, lip balms, hair conditioners, and sunscreen formulations to improve smoothness, spreadability, and overall skin feel. It is often blended with ingredients such as Cetearyl Alcohol, Stearyl Alcohol, and Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride for richer, stable, and skin-friendly formulations.
