A wax-like fatty ester used to thicken and structure oils and add a smooth, firm texture.
What it does
Cetyl Behenate is an ester of cetyl alcohol and behenic acid. It is a wax-like emollient that raises the melting point of an oil phase, helps firm up balms and sticks, and adds a smooth feel. It is an emollient-and-structure ingredient rather than a skin active.
