Stearyl Alcohol

Stearyl Alcohol

What-it-does: emollient, viscosity controlling, emulsifying, surfactant/cleansing, emulsion stabilising
Irritancy: 2
Comedogenicity: 2

Details

A handy multi-tasker, white to light yellowish oil-loving wax that works very well in oil-in-water emulsions.  It makes your skin feel nice and smooth (emollient),  stabilizes oil-water mixes and gives body to them.

Oh, and one more thing: it's a so-called fatty alcohol - the good, emollient type of alcohol that is non-drying and non-irritating. It is often mixed with fellow fatty alcohol, Cetyl Alcohol, and the mixture is called Cetearyl Alcohol in the ingredient list.
