Cetyl Alcohol

Origin: Plant-Derived (Coconut) | Process: Fatty Acid Fractionation | Certifications: 100% Plant-Derived Fatty Alcohol

INCI: Cetyl Alcohol

Not all alcohols dry out the skin. Unlike volatile drying alcohols (like isopropyl or SD alcohol), cetyl alcohol is a solid, soothing fatty alcohol derived from plant oils. It serves as a gentle emollient and bodying agent, creating a thick, cushioned application experience.

Key Benefits & Science:

• Emollient Conditioning: Coats the skin's surface with a protective, soft layer that traps moisture beneath without feeling tacky.

• Texture & Cushion: Gives cleansers, balms, and polishes a dense, rich consistency that glides over rough patches without pulling or dragging.

• Moisture Retentive: Helps prevent skin moisture loss by supporting a smoother, more intact surface barrier.

Ideal For: Dry, dehydrated, or rough skin needing rich texture.
