guppygirl Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 From The Herbarie's website:Cetyl Alcohol NF is naturally derived from vegetable oils. This fatty alcohol is used to give emulsions more stability, body, viscosity. Cetyl Alcohol can also serve as a co-emulsifier in some formulations. Cetyl alcohol can enhance texture and feel of lotions, creams, and scrubs.HTH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
