Bulk Ceto Stearyl Alcohol (Cetearyl Alcohol)
Ceto Stearyl Alcohol, commonly known as Cetearyl Alcohol, is a blend of Cetyl Alcohol and Stearyl Alcohol. It is widely used in skincare and hair-care formulations to provide body, viscosity and a luxurious feel.
When incorporated into emulsions, Cetearyl Alcohol helps create a creamy, stable structure and can improve the spreadability and skin feel of the finished product. In hair conditioners, it provides slip, softness and a smoother conditioning feel, while also helping to build the desired viscosity.
Benefits & Uses
- Thickens creams and lotions – increases viscosity and body.
- Stabilises emulsions – helps maintain a consistent oil-and-water structure.
- Co-emulsifier – works alongside emulsifiers to improve emulsion stability.
- Improves texture – creates a smooth, creamy and luxurious consistency.
- Conditioning agent – provides softness and improved slip in hair products.
- Enhances spreadability – helps products glide smoothly over skin and hair.
- Improves product structure – particularly useful in thicker creams and conditioners.

- Deep-conditioning masks
- Hair creams

Typical use level: 1–10%, depending on the formulation and desired viscosity. It is normally added to the heated oil phase and melted completely before emulsification.
