FSS STEARYL ALCOHOL

FSS Stearyl Alcohol is a versatile, fatty alcohol that brings both functional and sensory benefits to your hair and skincare formulations. This C18 saturated fatty alcohol is non-drying and biodegradable, making it a go-to choice for clean, effective formulations.

This solid, waxy material melts easily into emulsified or anhydrous products, acting as a co-emulsifier, thickener, and stabilizer. It enhances the texture and stability of creams, lotions, conditioners, and masks—delivering a silky, smooth feel without heaviness or greasiness.

Ideal for both skin and hair applications, FSS Stearyl Alcohol forms a lightweight protective film that helps lock in moisture, smooth rough texture, and reduce damage. It can boost shine in hair, as well as leaving skin soft and conditioned.

 

Key Benefits:

• Provides emolliency and skin-conditioning benefits

• Improves product thickness and texture

• Stabilizes emulsions and oil-based systems

• Adds a soft, smooth feel without residue

• Enhances shine and manageability in hair care

 

Different from cetyl and behenyl alcohols due to differing chain lengths, FSS Stearyl Alcohol adds flexibility and performance range to your fatty alcohol toolkit—giving you more control over the final look and feel of your formulations. Whether you're crafting moisturizers, conditioners, or rich masks, FSS Stearyl Alcohol is a must-have ingredient that elevates your formulations with professional-grade results.

Benefits:

• Surfactant

• Viscosity Increasing Agent

• Emulsion Stabilizer
