Cetyl Alcohol Dobry Składnik poprawiający teksturę formuły Nawilżenie Cetyl Alcohol w skrócie Fatty alcohol used as an emollient, emulsifier, and thickening agent Can be naturally or synthetically derived One of the longest-known fatty acids, discovered in 1913 Considered safe as used in cosmetics Cetyl Alcohol opis Cetyl alcohol is a gentle fatty alcohol used as an emollient (moisturising ingredient), emulsifier, thickener, and carrying agent for other ingredients. It can be derived naturally, as in coconut fatty alcohol, or made synthetically. Both forms are considered safe and effective for skin. It is one of the longest-known fatty alcohols, having been discovered in 1913, when a French chemist isolated it from whale oil (hence the name “cetyl”, which is derived from _Cetacea_, the taxonomical infraorder in which whales are classified). It is not related to SD alcohol, denatured alcohol, or ethyl alcohol. There have been some reports of irritation with cetyl alcohol in compromised skin; however, this is thought to be from impurities in the refining process and not from cetyl alcohol itself. Cetyl alcohol is considered safe for use in cosmetics, even in amounts surpassing 50% (although its typical usage range is 5–10%). Powiązane składniki: Cetearyl Alcohol Fatty Alcohol Alcohol
