Usage

General Description

Octadecanoic acid, C16-18-alkyl esters, also known as stearyl/ cetyl alcohol, is a waxy substance that is typically derived from natural sources such as coconut or palm oil. It is commonly used in cosmetic and personal care products as an emollient, thickening agent, and to improve the texture and stability of formulations. It is also used in the production of pharmaceuticals, food additives, and industrial applications. This chemical is considered safe for use in cosmetics and personal care products at low concentrations and is generally well-tolerated by the skin. However, it is important to note that individuals with sensitive skin may be more prone to developing irritation or allergic reactions to products containing this ingredient.
