Stearyl alcohol is a long-chain fatty alcohol used as an emollient, thickener, and co-emulsifier.
It contributes body and stability to creams, lotions, and ointments while providing a smooth, rich skin feel.
Often used in combination with cetyl or cetearyl alcohol and surfactants to build stable oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsions.
Its mildness and waxy consistency make it suitable for pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations.
