Cetearyl alcohol, also known as cetearyl alcohol, contains A mixture of solid fatty alcohols of octadecanol and cetyl alcohol, in the form of white solid, flakes or granules. Among them, stearyl alcohol and cetyl alcohol account for more than 90% of this mixture, and there are also small amounts of other alcohols. The specific proportion is about 50%-70% stearyl alcohol and 20%-35% cetyl alcohol.
Cetearyl alcohol is used in cosmetics, plastics, leather, textiles, synthetic detergents and other industries. As a base in cosmetics, it is especially suitable for creams and lotions; in medicine, it can be directly used in W/O emulsifier pastes, ointment bases, etc.
Cestearyl alcohol is used as a lubricant and tackifier:
Used in cosmetics and topical preparations. In topical formulations, octadecanol increases the viscosity of w/o and o/w emulsions. It can stabilize the emulsion and have a co-emulsifying effect, thus reducing the amount of surfactant required to form a stable emulsion.
Stearyl alcohol as an emulsifier:
It is also used in the preparation of non-aqueous creams and lipsticks, and octadecanol can be used to reduce the release of water-soluble drugs. If used in combination with surfactants, it can form emulsions with very complex microstructures, including liquid crystals, plate-like structures and gel phases.
