{"product_id":"vaxen-cetearyl-alcohol-500g-cosmetic-grade","title":"VAXEN Cetearyl Alcohol 500g (Cosmetic Grade)","description":"\u003cp\u003eCetearyl Alcohol is a cosmetic-grade fatty alcohol supplied as easy-melting pellets and beads for DIY cosmetics and small-batch cosmetic production. It is used as the thickener and co-emulsifier in DIY hair conditioners and conditioner bars, and as a lotion thickener and cream thickener across a broad range of leave-on and rinse-off formulations. As a cosmetic raw material, cetearyl alcohol works at several stages of a formula. As a thickener it raises viscosity in cream and lotion bases and gives body to a homemade hair conditioner. As a co-emulsifier for oil-in-water creams it works alongside an emulsifying wax such as ceteareth-20 to help form and hold a stable emulsion. As an emollient it adds a smooth skin feel and improves spreadability. To use, add cetearyl alcohol to the heated oil phase of your formulation. It melts cleanly and blends with the other oil-phase ingredients before the water phase is combined. It is also compatible in cetearyl alcohol and ceteareth-20 emulsifier systems for hair conditioning applications. Common applications: hair conditioners and hair masks; conditioner bars; moisturisers and face creams; body butters; beard balm; solid lotion bars and lotion bases. This VAXEN cetearyl alcohol is supplied with its full INCI name (Cetearyl Alcohol) and CAS 67762-27-0, with batch information on every pack, for formulators who need traceable, documented ingredients. UK-packed in a resealable 500g pouch. Note: cetearyl alcohol is a blend of cetyl alcohol (C16) and stearyl alcohol (C18). It is not the same ingredient as standalone cetyl alcohol, though both are fatty alcohols used in cosmetic formulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCosmetic Grade Fatty Alcohol\u003c\/strong\u003e — Cetearyl alcohol in easy-melting pellet and bead form, a cosmetic fatty alcohol that works as a lotion thickener and cream thickener, building texture and viscosity in hair conditioners, creams, lotions and balms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCo-Emulsifier For Oil-In-Water Systems\u003c\/strong\u003e — Add to the oil phase during hot-process emulsification to help form and hold a stable emulsion in creams and lotions.
