Sterile Alcohol is a white, waxy solid, usually in a flake form.
Sterile Alcohol is a chemical found in cosmetic products.
Sterile Alcohol’s a white, waxy substance made from cetyl alcohol and Sterile Alcohol, both fatty alcohols.
They’re found in animals and plants, like coconut and palm oil.
They can also be made in a laboratory.
They are used in personal care products, mainly skin lotions, hair products, and creams.

They usually have an even number of carbon atoms, with a single alcohol group (–OH) attached to the last carbon.
Sterile Alcohol is a waxy substance that's derived naturally from plants, like palm oil or coconut oil, but can also be synthesized in a lab.
Fusco says theoretically, Sterile Alcohol could be used in any product that you apply to skin or hair and is commonly found in creams, lotions, moisturizers, and shampoos.
When used in cosmetic products, Cetyl Sterile Alcohol acts as an emulsifier and stabilizer and prevents products from separating.
According to Shah, Sterile Alcohol can also appear on a label under a few different names, for example, C16-18 alcohol or Cetyl Sterile Alcohol.
Sterile Alcohol is not an ingredient that’s used for Cetyl Sterile Alcohols actual effects on the skin but more so for the composition and function of the product as a whole, according to Shah.
Prevents separation of products: As an emulsifier, Sterile Alcohol is predominantly used in products to stabilize them so that when you apply the formulas to your skin or hair, they don't separate and they apply cosmetically well.
By keeping the product from separating, Sterile Alcohol may help with the application of a product and as a result, the overall effectiveness of Cetyl Sterile Alcohol.
Sterile Alcohol also functions as a surfactant.
Surfactants are ingredients that lower the surface tension between two substances, such as two liquids or a liquid and a solid.
Another job of surfactants is to degrease and emulsify oils and fats and suspend dirt, allowing them to be washed away.
This is possible because while one end of the surfactant molecule is attracted to water, the other end is attracted to oil.
Thus, surfactants attract the oil, dirt, and other impurities that have accumulated on your skin during the day and wash them away.
Due to these properties, Sterile Alcohol can be found in many different cleansers and body washes.
Sterile Alcohol also increases the foaming capacity of products.
Sterile Alcohol is derived from starch, and on its own is emulsifying and a surfactant.

Sterile Alcohol is a common emulsifier used in a vast array of cosmetics.
Cosmetic creams and lotions are often composed of water and oil based ingredients, which are held together by substances called emulsifiers.
Without emulsifiers, the formula would separate, causing oil droplets to float on top of the water.
Sterile Alcohol is a fatty alcohol that is a mixture of gentle cetyl and Sterile Alcohols.
Sterile Alcohol is used as an emollient, texture enhancer, foam stabilizer, and carrying agent for other ingredients.
Sterile Alcohol can be derived naturally, as in coconut fatty alcohol, or made synthetically.
Sterile Alcohol is almost always combined with similar-feeling ingredients to create a product’s texture and influence its slip when applied to skin.
Cosmetic products labeled "alcohol free" are allowed to contain Sterile Alcohol, whose effects are quite different from skinaggravating forms of alcohol.
Sterile Alcohol is a favorite fatty alcohol of many formulators due to its versatility, dry but emollient feel, and the luxurious thickness it imparts.
Sterile Alcohol is a combination of two other fatty alcohols, namely cetyl alcohol and Sterile Alcohol (or Stearic acid)—thus the name Cetearyl.
Both are vegetable-derived and very unlike the simple alcohols familiar at the bar in cocktails.
Instead, fatty alcohols are light, non-greasy emollients and create a dry, powdery finish with a fluffy texture.
They help stabilize emulsions and this results in a slightly thicker product.
Sterile Alcohol is a multi-purpose, vegetable-derived blend of cetyl and stearyl fatty alcohol that is commonly used as an emollient, emulsifier, and thickener in skincare formulations.
Sterile Alcohol comes in a waxy, white solid substance that can be melted for various purposes.
As an emulsifier, Sterile Alcohol keeps the oil and water from separating, thus allowing them to mix whilst as a thickener, Sterile Alcohol helps to change the viscosity, add shape, and increase a product’s foaming capacity such as in lotions and shampoos.
Sterile Alcohol is not actually an 'alcohol', like the ethyl alcohol that we know to be drying on the skin but is in fact a conditioner that helps to soften skin and hair.
Sterile Alcohol is not a liquid that most people can initially think of, rather it is a mixture of pastilles and irregular, waxy flakes.
Consequently, Sterile Alcohol has become a valuable addition to a multitude of applications including commercial and homemade moisturisers, shampoo/conditioner, and facial cleansers.
In moisturisers, the emollient properties found in this product help build an oily layer that traps water molecules in the skin.
As Sterile Alcohol is known, dry skin can be caused by low air moisture, irregular weather changes, and more.
To break this down, both alcohols may come from fat and may be used as a thickener and emulsifier, however, what sets them apart is that Sterile Alcohol provides more enhanced viscosity-forming effects and provides a better penetration with other ingredients in the formulation.
Sterile Alcohol has more benefits but is more priced so cetyl Sterile Alcohol offers a cheaper alternative for applications that do not require the rigour.
When storing this product, Sterile Alcohol is important to keep Cetyl Sterile Alcohol in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry location.
Sterile Alcohol, natural, can be usefully employed in emulsions, and anhydrous formulas to increase viscosity (thicken), and to give the product a cushioned body.
Sterile Alcohol is one of the most widely used of the natural fatty alcohols, often employed as the sole conditioning agent in natural creme rinse or natural hair conditioners, as it 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 Sterile Alcohol delivers a 'conditioned' feel to the skin.
Sterile Alcohol is also a good choice when you're looking for a natural thickener, where it also provide a rich, smooth, emulsion.
Sterile Alcohol is also, commonly, used as a natural thickener, which improves the stability of the emulsion to function, as a co-emulsifier, and it is compatible with almost all common cosmetic ingredients.
When Sterile Alcohol is used as the thickener in your formulation, as opposed to other natural thickener choices, it offers more ease of use because it 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 Sterile Alcohol offers simplicity.
