Used as thickener, emulsion stabilizer, emollient and hair conditioner in creams, lotions, hair care products, shampoos, color cosmetics and pharmaceutical ointments.
Cetrimonium Chloride (INCI: Cetrimonium Chloride, CAS 112-02-7) is a high-efficiency cationic surfactant, appearing as a white to off-white powder or granules.
As one of the most classic conditioning agents for hair care products, it provides multiple excellent functions including antistatic effect, softening and smoothing, improving combability, thickening and stabilizing formulations.
It is widely used in personal care products such as hair conditioners, hair masks, shampoos, hair dyes and skin care lotions.
As a professional source manufacturer, we supply high-purity Cetrimonium Chloride with stable bulk supply capacity.
Core Advantages
1. Classic Multi-Functional Ingredient
Thickener: Significantly increases the viscosity of emulsions and creams to enhance product texture.
Emulsion Stabilizer: Helps stabilize oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions and prevents oil-water separation.
Emollient: Forms a breathable protective film on the skin’s surface, delivering a soft and smooth skin feel.
Conditioner: Improves the combability and shine of hair.
2. Excellent Compatibility
Compatible with anionic, cationic and non-ionic surfactants.
Compatible with most oils, emulsifiers and active ingredients.
Serves as a reliable foundation for building complex formulation systems.
3. High Safety & Mildness
Extremely low skin irritation: The CIR Expert Panel has evaluated its safe use in cosmetics.
Non-sensitizing: Suitable for sensitive skin and infant care products.
Not the "alcohol" you might think: As a long-chain fatty alcohol, it is moisturizing and will not cause skin dryness.

FAQ: Cetearyl Alcohol
1. What is Cetearyl Alcohol?
Cetearyl Alcohol is a blended fatty alcohol composed of cetyl alcohol (C₁₆H₃₄O) and stearyl alcohol (C₁₈H₃₈O), appearing as a white waxy solid, flakes or pellets with a slight characteristic odor. It is one of the most classic and widely used basic raw materials in the cosmetics and personal care industry.
2. What are the core functions of Cetearyl Alcohol?
It serves multiple key roles in formulations:
Thickener: Significantly boosts the viscosity of emulsions and creams to enhance product texture and body.
Emulsion Stabilizer: Stabilizes oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions, preventing phase separation and improving long-term stability.
Emollient: Forms a breathable protective film on skin, delivering soft, smooth, and moisturized sensory feel.
Hair Conditioner: Improves hair combability, reduces static/frizz, and adds shine to hair strands.
3. How does Cetearyl Alcohol differ from similar ingredients?
vs. Pure Cetyl/Stearyl Alcohol: It is a balanced blend, offering a moderate melting point (48–52°C) and texture, while pure cetyl alcohol is more liquid and stearyl alcohol is more solid.
vs. Ceteareth-20/25: Ceteareth-20/25 are ethoxylated fatty alcohols (non-ionic emulsifiers) with higher HLB values for O/W emulsification. Cetearyl Alcohol acts as a co-emulsifier, thickener, and emollient to enhance stability and sensory properties, rather than being a primary emulsifier.
4. Is Cetearyl Alcohol safe for sensitive skin and baby products?
Yes. The CIR (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) Expert Panel has confirmed its safe use in cosmetics. It has extremely low skin irritation and is non-sensitizing, making it ideal for sensitive skin, infant care, and hypoallergenic formulations.
5. Will Cetearyl Alcohol dry out skin like ethanol?
No. It is a long-chain fatty alcohol, not the short-chain ethanol (drinking alcohol) that causes dryness. Instead, it acts as an emollient to lock in moisture, reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL), and keep skin soft and hydrated.
