Abstract
Cetyl alcohol is one of the important components in various preparations, such as cosmetic creams or lotions, or pharmaceutical hydrophilic ointments. Sometime ago a curious phenomenon was observed, namely, the cream was unstable when prepared with 1-hexadecanol instead of cetyl alcohol. This finding triggered studies on the difference between 1-hexadecanol and cetyl alcohol by many workers, including the authors of this review.
