Cetyl Stearyl Alcohol 25 g

Cetyl Stearyl Alcohol functional co emulsifier and structure stabilizer for formulation systems

Cetyl Stearyl Alcohol is a fatty alcohol raw material based on Cetyl Alcohol and Stearyl Alcohol used in formulation as a structuring component, co emulsifier and stabilizer. This functional ingredient is applied in manufacturing to create stable emulsions, regulate viscosity and build product structure. It is compatible with Olivem 1000, Montanov 68, Emulsifying Wax NF, BTMS, Behentrimonium Methosulfate, Cetrimonium Chloride and rheology modifiers such as Carbomer, Xanthan Gum, Hydroxyethylcellulose and Acrylates Copolymer. Global demand is driven by Food and Beverage, emulsified systems, cleaning products and contract manufacturing. In formulation it acts as a stabilizer and co emulsifier.

Properties and functional role in formulation

The component functions as a fatty alcohol ingredient in the oil phase. When heated it melts and upon cooling forms a stable crystalline structure. It is compatible with Sodium Polyacrylate, Acrylates Copolymer and preservatives such as Euxyl PE 9010, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Benzoate and Potassium Sorbate. It improves stability and texture.

Properties and result in final product

In finished products it creates stable texture and uniformity. In creams it prevents separation. In hair care it improves distribution. In cleaning systems it stabilizes structure. In food systems it influences texture.

Purpose

The component is used as an emulsion stabilizer, viscosity regulator and structuring ingredient. It acts as a co emulsifier and rheology modifier.

Application

The component is used across industries. In Food and Beverage it is applied in emulsified products. In flavor systems it acts as a structuring component. In cosmetics it is used in creams and lotions. In hair care it is used in conditioners with BTMS and Cetrimonium Chloride. In SPA it is used in emulsions. In cleaning it is used in cream systems. In pharmaceutical and supplement sectors it is used in carriers. In fragrance it is used in aromatic products. In private label it is widely used.

Recipe

Stable cream emulsion

Purified water — 720 ml
Cetyl Stearyl Alcohol — 55 g
Montanov 68 — 45 g
Grapeseed oil — 120 ml
Caprylic Capric Triglyceride — 80 ml
Glycerin — 50 ml
Sodium Polyacrylate — 5 g
Panthenol — 20 ml
Euxyl PE 9010 — 5 ml

Water phase is prepared with Sodium Polyacrylate and glycerin. Oil phase is heated and combined. Phases are emulsified with homogenization. During cooling actives and preservative are added. The system stabilizes into a uniform emulsion.

Production stability and scaling

The component ensures stable performance during scale up and reproducibility. Process parameters must be controlled. It integrates easily into B2B manufacturing systems.
