BEESWORKS Cetyl Alcohol is a 100% pure, cosmetic-grade fatty alcohol in easy-to-measure granules that thickens, stabilizes, and softens creams, lotions, conditioners and soaps.

Use this 10-ounce (0.625 lb) package of cetyl alcohol granules to refine the texture and performance of homemade and small-batch personal care products. Lightweight, stable and formulated for cosmetic use, these granules integrate smoothly into oil phases to build body, improve spreadability and add a velvety finish to skin and hair formulations.

How does BEESWORKS Cetyl Alcohol change the feel of creams and lotions?

Cetyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol that increases viscosity and creates a creamier mouthfeel without leaving heavy residue. It interacts with emulsifiers to produce stable, cohesive emulsions and makes products glide on more evenly.

• Thickens oil phases for creamier textures
• Enhances spreadability for smoother application
• Creates a non-greasy, velvety finish on skin

Can I use these granules in hair care and soap recipes?

Yes — these granules work well in conditioners, shampoos, and bar or liquid soap formulations. In hair products, cetyl alcohol acts as an emollient and conditioning agent; in soaps it helps harden bars and improve lather stability when used appropriately.

• Adds conditioning slip to rinses and conditioners
• Helps solidify and smooth bars of soap
• Compatible with a wide range of surfactants and oils

What’s the best way to incorporate BEESWORKS Cetyl Alcohol into DIY formulas?

Because these are granules, they melt easily into the heated oil phase of emulsions or conditioners. Measure by weight, dissolve in the oil at recommended process temperatures, then combine with the water phase under agitation to form a stable emulsion.

• Melt into oil phase at 70–80°C (158–176°F) for smooth incorporation
• Use typical usage rates of 1–10% depending on desired thickness
• Cool under gentle stirring for best texture and stability

Will this product work for sensitive-skin formulations or cosmetics?

BEESWORKS Cetyl Alcohol is labeled cosmetic-grade and is widely used as an emollient and stabilizer in skin- and hair-care products. While generally well tolerated, always patch-test new formulations and follow regulatory guidelines for cosmetic ingredients in your market.

• Cosmetic-grade purity suitable for topical products
• Improves moisturization and reduces tackiness
• Recommended to test formulations for individual sensitivity
