Cetyl Alcohol C16-98 is a fatty alcohol with a carbon chain length of 16. It is a non-comedogenic ingredient, which means that it does not clog the pores in the skin. This makes it highly usable and very commonly used in personal care applications like skin creams, soaps, body lotions, shampoos, and various make-up products. Where a lot of alcohols dehydrate the skin, Cetyl Alcohol C16-98 is actually a moisturizing and hydrating agent. It does not dry out the skin. Cetyl Alcohol C16-98 is also commonly used as a thickening agent. In personal care products this allows for a nicer skin feel, but it also helps in making the actives stick to the skin or hair better. This product is also available in RSPO grade.
