Cetyl Alcohol
Cetyl alcohol (CAS 36653-82-4, INCI Cetyl Alcohol) is a sixteen-carbon saturated fatty alcohol, supplied as a white waxy solid melting near 49 degrees Celsius. It thickens emulsions and gives creams and conditioners their characteristic slip.
Stearyl Alcohol
Stearyl alcohol (CAS 112-92-5, INCI Stearyl Alcohol) is the eighteen-carbon saturated fatty alcohol, a white waxy solid melting near 58 degrees Celsius. It is the firmest of the common cosmetic fatty alcohols and gives the richest body.
Cetostearyl Alcohol
Cetostearyl alcohol (CAS 67762-27-0, INCI Cetearyl Alcohol) is a blend of cetyl and stearyl fatty alcohols, usually close to equal parts. It is the standard consistency factor and co-emulsifier in creams, lotions and hair conditioners.
Myristyl Alcohol
Myristyl alcohol (CAS 112-72-1, INCI Myristyl Alcohol) is the fourteen-carbon saturated fatty alcohol, a white waxy solid melting near 38 degrees Celsius. It is lighter than cetyl alcohol and is used where a softer set and faster melt are wanted.
Isopropyl Palmitate
Isopropyl palmitate (CAS 142-91-6, INCI Isopropyl Palmitate) is the ester of isopropanol and palmitic acid. It is slightly heavier and more cushioned on the skin than isopropyl myristate, and is used as an emollient and pigment wetting agent.
Isopropyl Myristate
Isopropyl myristate (CAS 110-27-0, INCI Isopropyl Myristate) is the ester of isopropanol and myristic acid, a clear low-viscosity oil. It spreads and absorbs quickly without greasiness, and is used to thin heavy formulations and aid penetration.
Cetyl Palmitate
Cetyl palmitate (CAS 540-10-3, INCI Cetyl Palmitate) is the ester of cetyl alcohol and palmitic acid, a white crystalline wax melting near 50 degrees Celsius. It is the plant-derived replacement for spermaceti in creams, sticks and colour cosmetics.
Jojoba Oil
Jojoba oil (CAS 61789-91-1, INCI Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil) is not an oil in the usual sense. It is a liquid wax ester from the seed of Simmondsia chinensis, and that structure makes it exceptionally resistant to oxidation.
Hydrogenated Palm Stearin
Fully hydrogenated palm stearin at iodine value 0.5 maximum, supplied as flakes or beads with a melting point of 57C. It is a saturated feedstock for splitting into stearic and palmitic acid streams.
Castor Oil
Castor oil is the feedstock for an entire branch of oleochemistry, because ricinoleic acid carries a hydroxyl group that ordinary fatty acids lack. That group is the entry point to sebacic acid, undecylenic acid, polyols and 12-hydroxystearic acid.
Hydrogenated Castor Oil (Castor Wax)
Hydrogenated castor oil, supplied as flake or micronised powder, is the direct precursor to 12-hydroxystearic acid, the thickener in most lithium greases. Splitting the wax releases the hydroxy acid that gives grease its structure.
Palm Kernel Oil
For oleochemical conversion, palm kernel oil is bought for chain length rather than for melting behaviour. Roughly half its fatty acids are the twelve-carbon lauric chain on which surfactant, fatty alcohol and soap chemistry all depend.
Palm Kernel Stearin
Fractionating palm kernel oil concentrates its saturated chains into the stearin fraction, taking the iodine value down to single figures. For a converter that means a feed that resists oxidation and consumes little hydrogen on hardening.
Palm Stearin
Palm stearin is what stays solid when palm oil is fractionated. Converters buy it as the least expensive concentrated supply of saturated sixteen-carbon chains, for splitting into fatty acids, saponification and stearic acid manufacture.
RBD Palm Kernel Olein
Palm kernel olein is the liquid fraction of palm kernel oil, separated by controlled crystallisation. For oleochemical conversion it concentrates the shorter C8 to C12 chains and stays pumpable at ambient temperature, cutting tank heating requirements.

Confirm the evidence before ordering
Grade, origin and certification are confirmed for each proposed source. A vegetable-derived feedstock is not automatically certified sustainable, pharmaceutical grade or suitable for every application; request the evidence needed for your intended use.
