Product comes in convenient re-sealable stand up pouch with zip lock. Stearyl alcohol is a fatty substance and comes in a form of a solid wax. Stearyl alcohol is derived from vegetable sources like coconut or palm oils. However, it is not your typical drying grain alcohol; it is, actually, often used as a moisturizing ingredient in cosmetics products like lotions and crèmes. It is oil soluble and needs to be melted prior adding to the formulations (can be melted together with your oils/butters). When Stearyl alcohol is added to the products (crèmes, lotions, conditioners, candles...) it will, also, serves as a thickener, emollient, co-emulsifier and/or opacifier. Stearyl alcohol is a "sibling" of other fatty alcohols like Cetyl, Cetearyl or Behenyl. Although similar it is still different. Thus, you could use it alone or in combination with other fatty alcohols in your formulations to achieve different feel, texture and thickness of your final products like crèmes, lotions, skin/hair conditioners.
