Application

Cetostearyl Alcohol has some main applications including the follows mainly.

Cosmetics application: Cetostearyl Alcohol can be used for the production of cosmetic raw material. It has strong penetrfation into our skin so that it is widely used as a main component in many cosmetics. As the raw material of cosmetics, the cetyl alcohol can come from natural alcohol and also from animal oil. And even, the one from animal oil used in cosmetics can be more exquisite and tender in the actual use. However, our main raw material is from crude palm kernel oil.
Pharmaceutical application: Cetostearyl Alcohol is used as the ointment substrate in pharmaceutical purpose. It helps the active ingredients to penetrate into our skin so that the curative effect is achieved.
