Cetearyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol that can soften the skin and hair. It also stabilizes products that contain a mixture of oil and water, and changes the thickness of liquids. Because of these properties, it is a popular ingredient in many cosmetics and toiletries.

Cetearyl alcohol is a non-toxic, non-drying, and non-irritating ingredient that’s safe for use on skin and hair. The FDA allows it to be used in products labeled “alcohol-free”.
