Why is Cetearyl Alcohol a uniquely favored ingredient among fatty alcohols?
Among the many skin care and hair care raw materials, fatty alcohol ingredients have always occupied an important position, and Cetearyl alcohol and Sodium lauryl sulfate) are combined to form OSMFACT® MY CASD.
The fatty alcohol family is not a niche. Single ingredients such as Hexadelanol and Octadelanol have long been widely used, but the key to MY CASD's ability to stand out is that it jumps out of the single-ingredient thinking and uses scientific compounding to create a unique competitiveness.Cetyl stearyl alcohol itself is a natural fusion of cetyl alcohol and octyl alcohol. The mixed structure of the molecular formula C₁₆-₁₈H₃₃-₃₇OH gives IT both THE skin-friendly properties of the short carbon chain and the stability of the long carbon chain.
Some people may wonder, there are many members of the fatty alcohol family, why can cetyl stearyl alcohol be favored alone?This starts with its molecular structure.The molecular formula of cetyl stearyl alcohol is C34H72O2 and the molecular weight is 512.94 Da. This long-chain fatty alcohol structure gives it distinctive characteristics.Compared with other short-chain fatty alcohols, its carbon chain length is just right, which not only ensures good fat solubility, can be perfectly integrated with the oil components in skin care products, and will not affect the skin feeling of the product because the carbon chain is too long.When it is combined with sodium lauryl sulfate (molecular formula C₁₂H₂₅O₄SNa, molecular weight 288.38 Da) in accordance with the golden ratio of 70%-80% and 20%-30%, the synergy between the molecules makes the product performance achieve a qualitative leap.
For consumers, the sense of use is always the core consideration in choosing a product.Who doesn't want skin care quality to be delicate, smooth to apply, and hair care products to make hair soft and not knotted?MY CASD just hit these demand pain points accurately.It can significantly improve the stability of emulsions and creams, make the products not easy to layer and deteriorate during storage, and extend the shelf life.More importantly, it can make the product milder when used, will not cause irritation to the skin and scalp, is not tight after washing the face, and can be quickly absorbed when applying skin care products, without a sticky and heavy feeling.This excellent experience is beyond the reach of many similar ingredients.
From the point of view of the combination of ingredients
I.Cleaning care combination
Synergistic effect: Caprylic capric triglyceride enhances permeability, cetearyl alcohol locks in moisture, and the skin is hydrated and not tight after cleansing, avoiding the dryness of traditional cleansing products, and sensitive muscles can also be used with peace of mind.
Applicable scenarios: cleansing products such as cleanser, shower gel, etc.
II.Hair care and repair combination
Synergistic effect: Enhance the thickening and suspension effect of the product, the shape of the paste is more stable and uniform, and it is better attached to the hair when used, reducing knotting and improving the smoothness of repair.
Applicable scenarios: conditioner, hair mask and other hair care products.
III.Base makeup adaptation combination
Synergistic effect: Isododecane enhances volatility and smoothness, cetearyl alcohol enhances film-forming properties, making foundation, eye shadow and other base makeup products more obedient, and the makeup holding time is extended by 3-5 hours, and there is no sticky feeling.
Applicable scenarios: liquid foundation, eye shadow cream and other makeup products.
Multi-application
In cleaning products, it perfectly balances “clean washing” and “gentle care”.It can bubble quickly and foam tightly, taking away dirt and excess oil, while cetearyl alcohol can also reduce water loss.This experience is particularly friendly to sensitive muscles, and the sensitive period of changing seasons can also avoid redness and tingling caused by improper cleaning.
In skin care and hair care products, it solves the two major pain points of “rough texture” and “poor stability”.Make the texture of the lotion as delicate as silk, no graininess when applied, and a natural moisturizing feeling after absorption. In the conditioner, the cream can be better attached to the hair, and the hair is soft and shiny after washing.
Judging from the quality of the product itself, MY CASD also has strict quality control.Its properties are white to yellowish particles, Iodine value ≤3 g/100g, and the PH value of 1% aqueous solution at 25℃ is between 1.5-3. Each index has been professionally tested to ensure stable and reliable product quality.The product adopts a packaging specification of 25kg/bag, which is easy to store and transport. When storing, just keep the container sealed, dry, and store in a cool place with a temperature of not more than 30℃ to ensure the stability of the product.This kind of rigorous quality control system allows brands to have no worries when purchasing and using it.
The product packaging is made of recyclable high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and the specification of 25kg/bag is not only easy to transport and store, but also reduces packaging waste.In terms of waste treatment, it is handed over to professional institutions for disposal in accordance with regulations, which can minimize the impact on aquatic life and take into account the safety of use and ecological protection.
In general
In today's severe homogenization of the beauty raw material market, MY CASD's game-breaking logic is actually very simple: instead of following others to make popular products, it focuses on what users really need.It does not pile up complex concepts of efficacy, but focuses on solving the pain points that users feel every day.It does not pursue short-term marketing gimmicks, but builds long-term competitiveness through structural innovation, green production, and high compatibility.The filing data of inactive ingredients in 2025 show that mild alternative ingredients have become the mainstream, and the frequency of use of traditional irritating ingredients has decreased sharply. MY CASD is relying on the core advantages of gentleness, efficiency and sustainability, which fits the market development trend.
