Not the Alcohol You Are Thinking Of
The word alcohol on a label makes a lot of people flinch, and in this case it should not. Fatty alcohols such as cetyl, cetearyl, and stearyl alcohol are waxy, solid materials derived from plant oils. They soften the skin surface, help oil and water stay blended, and give a cream its density and cushion.
They are the structural backbone of most rich formulas we stock — DEJ Face Cream, DEJ Night Cream, and Nectifirm Advanced — and they give tinted moisturizers like Intellishade Clear SPF 50 their body.
Are fatty alcohols drying like regular alcohol?
The opposite. Drying alcohols such as alcohol denat are small, volatile, and evaporate off the skin. Fatty alcohols are long-chain and emollient — they stay put and condition. The shared word describes chemistry, not behaviour.
