FAQ

How does the consistency of cetyl alcohol impact its role in cosmetic systems?

Consistent cetyl alcohol ensures stable emulsion properties, which are critical for maintaining the texture and performance of creams and lotions. Precise production protocols minimise variability, leading to improved mixing behaviour and reliable performance in formulation processes.

What technical measures are applied during cetyl alcohol production to maintain purity?

During production, SAM employs techniques such as melting point determination and gas chromatography to monitor purity. These analytical methods detect impurities and maintain strict batch-to-batch consistency, which contributes to enhancing product performance in sensitive cosmetic formulations.

Can cetyl alcohol maintain its functionality under varying formulation temperatures?

Yes, the controlled crystallisation process of cetyl alcohol supports consistent performance over a range of temperatures. Its defined melting point ensures that it reliably contributes to product viscosity modification and phase stability during manufacturing and end-use scenarios.
