About this ingredient
Cetyl Stearate is a waxy ester formed from cetyl alcohol and stearic acid, commonly used as an emollient and thickening agent in cosmetic formulations. It provides a smooth, non-greasy texture, improves skin feel, and enhances the stability and consistency of creams, lotions, and sunscreens. It also acts as a skin conditioning agent that softens and protects the skin barrier.
