Cetyl Alcohol (CAS 36653‑82‑4) is a premium long-chain C16 fatty alcohol, widely recognized as an essential multifunctional additive in the global cosmetic and personal care industry. Manufactured via precise fractionation and purification technology, our export-grade cetyl alcohol delivers ultra-high purity with C16 alcohol content reaching 98.0% and above. With strictly controlled low acid value and ultra-low moisture indicators, and a stable melting point of 48-52℃, the white flaky solid features high chemical stability, pure composition and no harmful impurities, fully complying with international cosmetic raw material safety standards.

This high-quality cetyl alcohol possesses three core functional advantages: thickening, emulsification and emollient effects. In skincare formulations such as moisturizing creams and anti-aging products, it acts as an efficient thickener to adjust product viscosity, improve formula uniformity and enhance skin-fitting texture. It forms a breathable protective film on the skin surface, locking moisture, relieving dryness and roughness, and significantly improving skin softness and smoothness. In hair care products including conditioners and hair masks, it penetrates hair cuticles to soften dry and frizzy hair, enhance hair luster and elasticity, and repair damaged hair texture.

More importantly, cetyl alcohol serves as a professional emulsion stabilizer. It perfectly balances oil-water phase systems in cosmetic formulas, effectively solving common problems such as product stratification, water precipitation and performance degradation during long-term storage, greatly improving finished product stability and shelf life. With mild, non-toxic and non-irritating characteristics, it is compatible with most cosmetic raw materials and suitable for various high-end skincare and hair care formulations. Our products undergo strict batch quality inspection to ensure stable indicators and reliable application effects. With sufficient inventory and mature global supply chain, we provide long-term stable bulk supply and competitive pricing solutions for global daily chemical and cosmetic processing enterprises.
