What is Cetearyl Alcohol?

Cetearyl Alcohol is a plant-derived fatty alcohol blend (Cetyl: 30%, Stearyl: 70%) that acts as a dual-function emulsifier and emollient (molecular formula: C₁₆H₃₄O + C₁₈H₃₈O). Sourced from non-GMO coconut/palm oil, XJESON’s cosmetic-grade flakes deliver exceptional stability and texture enhancement in creams, lotions, and hair conditioners. With ≥98% purity and ultra-low heavy metals (<10 ppm), it complies with ECOCERT/COSMOS standards for natural cosmetics, surpassing FDA GRAS and CIR safety limits (approved up to 15% in leave-on products).

Key Benefits & Formulation Advantages

1. Superior Emulsion Stability & Texture

• Non-Greasy Skin Care
• Forms stable oil-in-water emulsions with a silky, powdery finish—reducing tackiness in lotions by 62% vs. mineral oil-based emollients.
• Cold-Process Optimization:
• Enables bath bomb and scrub formulations without pre-heating (pH-stable in 3.0–8.0 systems).

2. Clean Beauty Compliance

• Vegan & Sustainable:
• RSPO-certified palm oil sourcing with full traceability from Southeast Asian farms 8.
• Biodegradable (>90% in 28 days vs. 60% industry average).

3. Hair Care Material

• Anti-Static & Detangling:
• Reduces combing force by 45% in conditioners (3–7% dosage), enhancing slip without silicone buildup.
