Cetearyl Alcohol and the other fatty alcohols keep an emulsion from separating into its oil and liquid components. These ingredients are also used to alter the thickness of liquid products and to increase foaming capacity or to stabilize foams. Cetearyl, Cetyl, Myristyl and Behenyl Alcohols are straight-chain alcohols. Isostearyl Alcohol is a branched chain alcohol. Cetearyl Alcohol is a mixture of mostly of Cetyl and Stearyl Alcohols, which are fatty alcohols that occur naturally in small quantities in plants and animals. Myristyl Alcohol is a 14 carbon chain. Cetyl Alcohol has 16 carbons, while Stearyl and Isostearyl Alcohols have 18 carbons.
For TEA-lauryl sulfate, the panel concluded that formulations should not exceed a concentration of 10.5%. The CIR expert panel concluded that sodium cetearyl sulfate and related alkyl sulfates are safe in soaps and shampoos at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 29% as described in the report. Environmental Effects. The environmental hazards of alkyl and alkyl ether sulfates have been well-studied in vertebrate and invertebrate species. Alkyl chain length is the most important determinant of aquatic toxicity. Invertebrates are the most sensitive species to AS followed by fish and algae.
