Functional

 

Cetylstearyl alcohol creates a moisture - retaining film on the surface of the skin , thanks to which nutrients penetrate more effectively into the deep layers of the epidermis - the skin becomes silky. It is an excellent solvent, thickener and emulsifier.

Not possessing pronounced emulsifier properties, this alcohol at the same time significantly increases the viscosity of oil / water emulsion systems, providing them with stability regardless of their pH value. Additionally, this substance prevents the appearance of redness and irritation.

Emulsions with cetyl stearyl alcohol, when compared with cetyl alcohol, are smoother, softer and more pleasant when applied to the skin. They are less dry and less likely to clog the pores of the skin and form comedones . This component does not autooxidize , does not break down when exposed to acids and alkalis, does not lend itself to the negative effects of sunlight and oxygen.

 

 

Cosmetic properties:

• natural co - emulsifier;
• structurant and emollient;
• narrows the pores;
• softens the skin;
• has a disinfectant effect;
• promotes the transport of nutrients to the deep layers of the skin;
• retains water;
• has a conditioning effect on hair, facilitates combing;
• regulates the viscosity of creams, emulsions and lotions;
• improves mixing and dissolution of components;
• prevents separation of the product into components;
• is the preferred consistency regulator in cosmetic preparations;
• improves the consistency of anhydrous products such as lipsticks, body scrubs
