Cetyl-stearyl alcohol or known as (C16-C18) Alkyl Alcohol, is a fatty alcohol made from synthetic, animal, and vegetable sources, such as coconut, palm, corn, or soy vegetable oil. Cetyl-stearyl or Cetearyl alcohol is a mixture of cetyl and stearyl alcohol. This fatty alcohol is a mixture of mostly cetyl and stearyl alcohol. Cetyl-stearyl alcohol is not water-soluble, though it is soluble in oil and alcohol.
Cetyl-Stearyl alcohol is prepared by the reduction of the appropriate fatty acids from vegetable, animal sources, and hydrocarbon sources. Cetyl-Stearyl alcohol can also be prepared through sodium reduction or high-pressure hydrogenation of esters. The reduction reaction converts the fatty acid chain to chains of fatty alcohols.
