About Cetyl Acetate

Cetyl Acetate is an ester of cetyl alcohol and acetic acid.[1] In cosmetics, it is used to reduce friction on the skin or hair and add a smooth feel, help prevent the characteristic odor or taste of raw materials from becoming too noticeable, and leave the skin’s surface feeling soft and smooth.[2]
