What is it?

Cetearyl Alcohol is a waxy, white solid that is a blend of cetyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol. These are classified as long-chain fatty alcohols, distinct from drying alcohols like ethanol.​ It is typically derived from plant-based sources, such as coconut, palm, or other vegetable oils. It can also be produced synthetically in a laboratory.
