Cetyl alcohol is a lubricant and thickening agent used in a variety of products. Also referred to as palmityl alcohol, it is a
synthetic fatty substance made from oils that reduces the surface tension of a liquid. It is most commonly found in shampoos and
conditioners, since it can make hair feel smooth and soft. It's also used to thicken lotions and other cosmetics, as well as for
lubricating industrial machine parts, like bolts and fasteners.

1. Hair Care
Shampoos and conditioners often use cetyl alcohol to help moisturize hair. It protects hairs'cuticles and helps them lie flat to prevent dryness and frizz. While conditioners with fatty alcohols can be effective moisturizing agents, it is perhaps even more important for people to choose ashampoo containing them. Many shampoos strip the hair of moisture, and may become too dry if the moisture isn't replenished after cleansing. At the same time, people with oily hair may not benefit from shampoos containing this substance as much, because their hair is already lying flat.
2. Lotion and Makeup
In cosmetics, cetyl alcohol is used as an emollient that softens skin when used in appropriate amounts. Moisturizers containing it are often used for normal skin types. They can maintain skin's moisture balance and don't create greasiness if used properly. Aside from moisturizers,cetyl alcohol is present in foundations, blushes, and other cosmetics. The thickening agents in it help prevent makeup from falling off the skin.
