## Overview

Cetearyl Alcohol Granules (3.53 oz) is a premium fatty alcohol blend that enhances moisturization, controls viscosity, and stabilizes emulsions in DIY cosmetics. With a hydroxyl value of 215-225 and melting point between 49-56°C, it’s perfect for creating smooth, stable lotions, balms, and scrubs. Bio-compatible and non-irritating, it boosts foam quality and works seamlessly with oils and waxes to deliver professional-grade skincare formulations.

## Description

✅ INCI name: Cetearyl alcohol ✅ CAS Number: 67762-27-0 ✅ ORIGIN(S): Vegetal, Synthetic. ✅ PRESENTATION: solid in the form of small white granules, packaged in a zipped bag. ✅ Synonyms: Fatty alcohol. ✅ Bio-compatible (COSMO Reference) ✅ An extremely common multitasker ingredient that gives body skin a nice soft feel (emollient) and gives body to creams and lotions. It also helps to stabilize oil-water mixes (emulsions), though it does not function as an emulsifier in itself. Its typical use level in most cream type formulas is 2-3%. ✅ It’s a so-called fatty alcohol, a mix of cetyl and stearyl alcohol, other two emollient fatty alcohols. Though chemically speaking, it is alcohol (as in, it has an -OH group in its molecule), its properties are totally different from the properties of low molecular weight or drying alcohols such as denat. alcohol. Fatty alcohols have a long oil-soluble (and thus emollient) tail part that makes them absolutely non-drying and non-irritating and are totally ok for the skin.

## Questions & Answers

Cetyl Alcohol - 46,9 %
Stearyl Alcohol - 50.4 %

A: The source of this product is palm kernel oil produced industrially.

**Q: How much percent of this per 2.7 oz deodorant?**
A: In your case - 0.54 oz (~20%). However, fatty alcohols such as STEARYL ALCOHOL would be more suitable as they can be beneficial to the skin by helping to smooth and treat dry skin. Any way, I would suggest looking for proven deodorant recipes in the internet. Happy experimenting!

**Q: What is the expiration date ? the MFG is 05/2021**
A: The shelf life of the product is 24 months. However, if it is stored in the correct conditions i.e. - bag should be stored tightly sealed in a dry place. Keep in a cool place. Keep away from heat. Avoid direct sunlight. Protect against moisture and at a temperature not exceeding 40°C/104.0°F, the properties of the product will remain unchanged indefinitely.
