Q: Is vegetable cetyl alcohol safe for sensitive skin in Australia?
A: Yes — 100% plant-derived, hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic, TGA-compliant for face, body and baby creams.

Q: How does it differ from cetearyl alcohol?
A: Cetyl = C16 chain — lighter, silkier feel, better spreadability; cetearyl (C16+C18) is thicker, more occlusive. Both vegan.

Q: What’s the usage rate in creams and conditioners?
A: Use 2–6% in oil phase (melt at 50–60°C). Add to hot oil before emulsification. Stable pH 3–9.

Q: Can it thicken without feeling heavy?
A: Yes — creates elegant, non-waxy texture. Pair with light oils for fast-absorbing lotions in humid Aussie summers.

Q: Does it ship across Australia?
A: Yes — delivery Australia wide.

Q: What makes your cetyl alcohol unique?
A: 100% vegetable, fine white flakes, high purity — consistent melt, no odour, superior glide and stability vs. synthetic versions.

Q: How to store in hot or humid climates?
A: Store sealed, below 30°C — flakes resist clumping. In QLD/NT, keep in cool cupboard; 3-year shelf life.
