Sensitive skin types often shy away from using lotions and cleansers that contain alcoholic ingredients.  However, many people don't realize that alcohols come in a wide variety of chemical formulations.  According to leading medical researchers, some alcohols are considered excellent emollients.  They also found that select alcohols help preserve the stability in many skincare formulations. 

Cetearyl, Cetyl, Lanolin and Stearyl alcohols are considered some of the more gentle ingredients used in skincare products.  They are all fatty alcohols derived from natural fats and oils.  These alcohols are considered excellent conditioning agents as they help to keep the skin soft, smooth, pliable and healthy-looking.  They also assist in enhancing the texture and feel of skincare lotions and crèmes. 

Since fatty alcohols are completely non-irritating and safe to use, Geritrex has added these ingredients to its premium skincare line. Some of our products that contain these ingredients include:
