Cetearyl Alcohol
Cetearyl Alcohol is a waxy, white solid used extensively in cosmetic and personal care formulations as a thickener, stabilizer, and emollient. It is composed of a blend of long-chain fatty alcohols, primarily cetyl and stearyl alcohols, that provide a balance between soft slip and structural integrity.
Stearic Acid
Thickener, Hardener and Co-emulsifier
Stearic acid is a naturally occurring saturated fatty acid with an 18-carbon chain. It is one of the most common long-chain fatty acids found in both animal and plant fats. In its pure form, stearic acid appears as a white, waxy, solid that is insoluble in water but soluble in oils and alcohols.
