Cetyl Alcohol
A fatty alcohol derived from coconuts that acts as an emollient & emulsifier with hydrating, conditioning and softening properties.
When you see the word ‘alcohol’ on a skincare label, it might sound alarming. But rest assured, not all alcohols are created equal. Cetyl Alcohol, for instance, is one of the ‘good’ alcohols in skincare.
Unlike drying alcohols, Cetyl Alcohol, a fatty alcohol derived typically from plants like palm or coconut, serves as an emollient and emulsifier. It helps soften the skin, lock in moisture, and give your skincare products the right consistency and spreadability. So don’t shy away from this ingredient – it’s there to make your skincare experience smoother and more enjoyable.
