Cetyl Esters, also known as Cetyl Esters, is a popular ingredient in the cosmetic industry. This ingredient is created by cetyl alcohol and fatty acid and is basically a mixture of esters of cetyl alcohol with fatty acids. Cetyl Esters are found in many cosmetic and personal care products, including beauty creams, hair conditioners, mascaras, depilatory creams, body lotions, and many other products.
Cetyl Esters in cosmetics serve as a thickener, emulsifier and conditioner. With the exception of some specific types of products such as shampoos, Cetyl Esters can be found almost everywhere.
