Add our cetyl alcohol to your formulation to give it an amazingly velvety texture that will take your formulation from good to unbelievable.

HOW IT WORKS-

It works by compensating for the loss of water in the upper layer of the skin by attracting moisture from the air.
It works by forming an oily layer on the skin that helps in trapping the water in the skin and enhancing the natural water retention capabilities of the skin.

CONCENTRATION AND SOLUBILITY-

It is recommended that it should be used at a concentration of 1-8% (can be used more)

It is soluble in oil and alcohol but is insoluble in water.

HOW TO USE-

Heat the oil and water phase of your formulation separately.
Add our cetyl alcohol to the heated oil phase in the recommended quantity, keeping in mind that the higher the concentration, the thicker the final product would be.
Blend both the phases using an electric mini-mixer to obtain a homogenous mixture.
