Cetyl alcohol is a saturated fatty alcohol commonly utilized for its stabilizing and texturizing properties. Naturally sourced from coconut or palm oils, it is typically supplied in waxy flakes or pastilles. Unlike drying alcohols, cetyl alcohol is a non-irritating solid that serves as a primary building block in both aqueous and anhydrous formulations.
