Cetyl alcohol also known as hexadecan-1-ol and palm alcohol, is a C-16 fatty alcohol Cetyl Alcohol the formula CH3(CH2)15OH. At room temperature, cetyl alcohol takes the form of a waxy solid or flakes. Cetyl alcohol was discovered in 1817 by the French chemist Michel Chevreul when he heated  a waxy substance obtained from whale oil, Cetyl Alcoholh caustic potash (potassium hydroxide). Flakes of cetyl alcohol were left behind on cooling.  Modern production of . Cetyl alcohol is based around the reduction of palmCetyl Alcoholic acid, which is obtained from palm oil. Cetyl alcohol is used in the cosmetic industry as an opacifier in shampoos, or as an emollient, emulsifier or thickening agent in the manufacture of skin creams and lotions. Cetyl alcohol is also employed as a lubricant for nuts and bolts, and is the active ingredient in some "liquid pool covers" (forming a non-volatile surface layer to reduce water evaporation, related latent vaporization heat loss, and thus to retain heat in the pool). Moreover, Cetyl alcohol can also be used as a non-ionic co-surfactant in emulsion applications. 
Cetyl Alcohol is a, 95% pure and natural, fatty alcohol from Coconut Oil. The fatty alcohols are not at all similar to what you might think of when you think of alcohol, from petro or even the natural distilled grains, which would be drying to the skin. Cetyl Alcohol , and other Fatty Alcohols, in contrast, are very moisturizing to the skin where they help to lock in the skin's natural moisture levels, and impart a smooth, soft, feel to both the product and the skin.
Cetyl Alcohol , natural, can be usefully employed in your emulsions, and anhydrous formulas to increase viscosCetyl Alcoholy (thicken), and to give the product a cushioned body. Cetyl Alcohol is one of the most widely used of the natural fatty alcohols, often employed as the sole condCetyl Alcoholioning agent in natural creme rinse or natural hair condCetyl Alcoholioners, as Cetyl Alcohol adequately moisturizes and improves wet / dry comb out. A natural, and easy to use, rheology modifier that will improve the texture of all formulas that contain an oil phase, where Cetyl Alcoholdelivers a 'condCetyl Alcoholioned' feel to the skin. Cetyl Alcoholis also a good choice when you're looking for a natural thickener, where Cetyl Alcohol also provide a rich, smooth, emulsion.Cetyl Alcohol is also, commonly, used as a natural thickener, which improves the stabilCetyl Alcoholy of the emulsion to function, as a co-emulsifier, and Cetyl Alcohol is compatible wCetyl Alcoholh almost all common cosmetic ingredients. When Cetyl Alcoholis used as the thickener in your formulation, as opposed to other natural thickener choices, Cetyl Alcohol offers more ease of use because Cetyl Alcohol won't impact the system pH, or add thixotropic behavior. A great choice when you optimize your formulas to strip out incidental ingredients for greener formulations. As a thickener Cetyl Alcohol offers simplicCetyl Alcoholy. Cetyl alcohol is a flaky, waxy, white solid often derived from coconut, palm, or vegetable oil.  Cetyl alcohol typically come from coconut palm trees, palm trees, corn plants, sugar beets, or soy plants. Cetyl alcohol is used in hundreds of personal care,  Cetyl alcohol is used in cosmetic, and . Cetyl alcohol is used in household products, such as . Cetyl alcohol is used in makeup,  Cetyl alcohol is used in bath soap, . Cetyl alcohol is used in detergents, Cetyl alcohol is used in shaving cream, Cetyl alcohol is used in lotions, Cetyl alcohol is used in shampoo and . Cetyl alcohol is used in other products. Cetyl alcohol acts as a moisturizer in our products by helping bind moisture to the skin. Cetyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol and can also act as an emulsifier, giving proper texture to our products. Cetyl alcohol can be an emollient, keep things from separating, control how thick or runny a product is, act as a coupling agent, and even stabilize foams. Cetyl alcohol doesn’t dissolve in water, but it dissolves in alcohol and oils.  Cetyl alcohol is often combined with stearyl alcohol to make cetearyl alcohol, which is also a moisturizer in our products. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review has deemed cetyl alcohol safe in cosmetic ingredients, and the Food and Drug Administration has deemed it safe for use in food. Whole Foods has deemed the ingredient acceptable in its body care quality standards. A series of studies also show cetyl alcohol generally does not irritate or sensitize human skin. Cetyl alcohol is manufactured by reducing ethyl palmitate (the waxy ester of palmitic acid) with metallic sodium and alcohol or under acidic conditions with lithium aluminum hydride as a catalyst.. The final product melts at a temperature higher than that of the human body, which makes Cetyl alcohol useful for makeup and other things that are warmed by the skin. Cetyl alcohol, also called 1-hexadecanol, [CH3(CH2)15OH], a solid organic compound that was one of the first alcohols to be isolated from fats. Cetyl alcohol was discovered in 1817 by the French chemist Michel Chevreul. When he heated a sample of  (a solid wax formed by the cooling of  whale oil) with caustic potash (potassium hydroxide), colourless crystals appeared. Although Chevreul thought that these crystals were a compound of ethylene and water, a more complete analysis by other researchers in 1836 established composition of Cetyl alcohol as an alcohol. Functions of Cetyl alcohol: Cetyl alcoholis  Emollient : Softens and softens the skin. Cetyl alcohol is Emulsifying : Promotes the formation of intimate mixtures between immiscible liquids by modifying the interfacial tension (water and oil). Cetyl alcohol is Emulsion stabilising : Promotes the emulsification process and improves the stability and shelf life of the emulsion. Cetyl alcohol is Foam boosting : Improves the quality of the foam produced by a system by increasing one or more of the following properties: volume, texture and/or stability. Cetyl alcohol is Masking : Reduces or inhibits the odor or basic taste of the product. 36653 – 82 – 4Cetyl alcohol  is Opacifying : Reduces transparency or translucency of cosmetics. Cetyl alcohol is Surfactant : Reduces the surface tension of cosmetics and contributes to the even distribution of the product when it is used. Cetyl alcohol is now manufactured through the reduction of ethyl palmitate (the waxy ester of palmitic acid) with metallic sodium and alcohol or under acidic conditions with lithium aluminum hydride as a catalyst. Cetyl alcohol is used widely in lubricants, emulsifiers, insecticides, and detergents. Because Cetyl alcohol is not readily hydrolyzed, cetyl alcohol can be applied as a thin film over a surface (e.g., on the leaves of growing plants or across a water reservoir) to reduce the rate of water loss through evaporation. Cetyl alcohol also melts at a temperature higher than that of the human body, so Cetyl alcohol is useful in preparing cosmetic creams (e.g., lipsticks) that are easily molded and softened when warmed by the skin. Cetyl alcohol is also listed in the OTC ingredient list as a skin protectant for skin irritations caused by poison ivy, oak, sumac, and insect bites or stings . Cetyl alcohol is reported to be a mild skin or eye irritant. Cetyl Alcohol , and other Fatty Alcohols, in contrast, are very moisturizing to the skin where they help to lock in the skin's natural moisture levels, and impart a smooth, soft, feel to both the product and the skin.

A chemical that helps keep liquid and oil together is known as an emulsifier. It can also make a product thicker or increase the foaming ability of the product. For nearly 30 years, the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) expert scientific panel stated that cetyl alcohol is safe for use as cosmetic ingredients. In 2005, CIR evaluated new data and reconfirmed the original safety result. A small percentage of people may experience contact allergies (red or inflamed skin) when exposed to emulsifier ingredients such as cetyl alcohol (CETYL ALCOHOL) in lotions or creams. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considered that cetyl alcohol could be safely used as a food additive, both directly and indirectly.

Cetyl alcohol , also known as Hekadesen-1-ol and palmCetyl Alcoholyl alcohol, is a fatty alcohol with the formula CH3 (CH2) 15OH. At room temperature, cetyl alcohol takes the form of a waxy white solid or crisp. The name Cetyl derives from the whale oil (Latin: cetus) from which it was first isolated. Cetyl alcohol was discovered in 1817 by the French chemist Michel Chevreul after a waxy substance obtained with whale oil, was converted into caustic potash (potassium hydroxCetyl Alcohol) and isCetyl Alcohol. Modern production is based on the reduction of palmCetyl Alcoholic acid obtained with palm oil. Cetyl alcohol is used in the cosmetic industry as a mattifying agent in shampoos or as an emollient, emulsifier or thickener in the production of skin creams and lotions. In addition, cetyl alcohol is used as a lubricant for nuts and bolts and is used as an active ingredient in some "liquid pool covers" (while creating a surface layer to reduce evaporation and retain heat).

INCI Name: Cetyl alcohol 
Features:> Gel-free thickener, co-emulsifier if concentration> 5%, viscous Cetyl Alcohol and thickener (also for water-free products such as lipsticks), softener, moisturizer (absorbs moisture), foam booster.
Usage of cetyl alcohol: For proper use (54 ° C / 129 ° F), add 0.5-6% er in normal concentration to the hot oil phase. For external use only.
Applications of cetyl alcohol : Lotions, creams, hair shampoo, conditioner, body wash, make-up products. Cetyl Alcohol Dry skin is caused by a loss of water in the upper layer of the skin. Emollients / moisturizers work by creating an oily layer on the top of the skin that retains water from the skin. Petrolatum, lanolin, mineral oil and dimethicone are common emollients. Moisturizing agents containing glycerin, lesCetyl Alcoholin and propylene glycol draw water to the outer layer of the skin. Many products also contain ingredients with ingredients that soften small amounts of substances (keratin) that hold the top layer of skin cells (for example, alpha hydroxy acCetyl Alcohols such as urea, lactic / sCetyl Alcoholrik / glycolic asCetyl Alcohol, and allantoin). This helps the dead skin cells fall off, helps the skin retain more water and leaves the skin feeling smoother and softer.
How to use cetyl alcohol topical? Some products must be shaken before use. Before using cetyl alcohol ingredients, check the label to see if the bottle should be shaken well. Apply to affected areas of skin as needed or on label or to your doctor. How often the drug is applied depends on the product and the condition of your skin. To treat dry hands, you may need to apply the product throughout the day each time you wash your hands. Description: BCetyl Alcohol is a multipurpose thickening alcohol (1-hexadecanol, hexadecyl or palmCetyl Alcoholyl alcohol) derived from vegetable oils and consisting of more than 95% fatty alcohols. White flakes, dark fragrance. Soluble in diethyl ether and acetone, slightly soluble in alcohol. Cetyl alcohol can also be used to increase the melt point and improve the texture of whipped butters and lotion bars. Cetyl Alcohol A general use auxiliary emulsifier with thickening and moisturizing properties. Cetyl alcohol is used in lotions. Cetyl alcohol is used in creams. Cetyl alcohol is used in shampoos. Cetyl alcohol is used in hair care. Cetyl alcohol is used in shower gel and Cetyl alcohol is used in makeup products. Usage: Cetyl alcohol Hot oil phase (50 - 60 degrees) is added, the usage amount is between 1 - 30%. Cetyl Alcohol is a kind of leather softener that relaxes the skin and makes it smooth. Cetyl alcohol does not dry the skin. Therefore, Cetyl alcohol is used in cream and Cetil alcohol lotions in the cosmetics industry. In addition, it is used in some sectors as Cetyl alcohol lubricant. Cetyl alcohol is a raw material with a chemical formula of CH3 (CH2) 15OH and a molecular weight of 242,44 GR / MOL, odorless or slightly peculiar, Cetyl alcohol in white color and Cetyl alcohol solid form. Cetyl alcohol, especially cosmetics and detergents, Cetyl alcohol is used as the main raw material or auxiliary raw material in the production of many industrial products. Cetyl alcohol is used as a solvent and dispersing agent in the production of Cetyl alcohol half-drugs in the agricultural sector. Cetyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol containing 16 carbon atoms per molecule. The IUPAC name for cetyl alcohol is hexadecan-1-ol. The chemical formula of cetyl alcohol is CH3 (CH2) 15OH. Cetyl alcohol is present at normal room temperature as a waxy white solid. Cetyl alcohol Sometimes occurs as flakes. Also, Cetyl alcohol has a very mild fragrance. The name of cetyl alcohol is derived from whale oil because the Latin name for whale is Cetus. Because the first source of Cetyl alcohol was whale oil. Modern production of Cetyl alcohol includes reduction of palmCetyl Alcoholic acid. Here, Cetyl alcohol palmCetyl Alcoholic asCetyl Alcohol comes from palm oil. Potential antimicrobial activity of cetyl alcohol may be due to a change in cell membrane permeability that either blocks absorption of essential nutrients and induction of outward diffusion vital cellular components. This proposed mechanism of action is thought to be similar for other long-chain aliphatic alcohols with same antimicrobial activity, such as myristyl alcohol and behenyl alcohol Cetyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol that gives consistency to cosmetics. Very good emollient, Cetyl alcohol softens, softens and protects the skin. In hair products, Cetyl alcohol facilitates detangling while softening the hair. Cetyl alcohol is generally very suitable for dry skin. Cetyl alcohol can be produced from coconut oil. Cetyl alcohol is authorized in organic. 
 It is insoluble in cold water. Partial solubility in hot water. 
Cetyl alcohol , also known as hexadecan-1-ol and palmityl alcohol, is a C-16 fatty alcohol with the formula CH3(CH2)15OH. At room temperature, cetyl alcohol takes the form of a waxy white solid or flakes. The name cetyl derives from the whale oil (cetacea oil, from Latin: cetus, lit. 'whale', from Ancient Greek: κῆτος, romanized: kētos, lit. 'huge fish') from which it was first isolated.
Cetyl alcohol was discovered in 1817 by the French chemist Michel Chevreul when he heated spermaceti, a waxy substance obtained from sperm whale oil, with caustic potash (potassium hydroxide). Flakes of cetyl alcohol were left behind on cooling. Modern production is based around the reduction of palmitic acid, which is obtained from palm oil.
Cetyl alcohol is used in the cosmetic industry as an opacifier in shampoos, or as an emollient, emulsifier or thickening agent in the manufacture of skin creams and lotions. It is also employed as a lubricant for nuts and bolts, and is the active ingredient in some "liquid pool covers" (forming a non-volatile surface layer to reduce water evaporation, related latent vaporization heat loss, and thus to retain heat in the pool). Moreover, it can also be used as a non-ionic co-surfactant in emulsion applications.
People who suffer from eczema can be sensitive to cetyl alcohol, though this may be due to impurities rather than cetyl alcohol itself. However, cetyl alcohol is sometimes included in medications used for the treatment of eczema.
Uses
In personal care products like skin lotions and creams, cetyl alcohol serves as a thickening agent and emulsifier, to help keep product ingredients from separating. Because cetyl alcohol melts at temperatures higher than the average human body temperature, it is useful in cosmetic products like lipsticks, helping lip color adhere to the skin.
Cetyl alcohol is also a multipurpose food additive, used as a flavoring agent or in food decorations. For example, cetyl alcohol is an ingredient in colorful lettering or pictures on some types of candy or gum.
In industrial applications, cetyl alcohol is a primary ingredient in fuels, chemical intermediates and plasticizers and is used as a lubricant for nuts and bolts in manufacturing application
