Behenyl Alcohol

Behenyl Alcohol is another name for the chemical docosanol, which is very important in the cosmetics industry. It is a long fatty alcohol that is extracted from oil seeds, specifically rapki oil. It is white in color and contains no odor. Due to its properties, behenyl alcohol is one of the popular ingredients in cosmetics. This is because this alcohol works as a stabilizer and emulsifier in cosmetic products. The emulsifier allows the mixing of two immiscible ingredients, such as water and fat.

Behenic alcohol, also known as docosan-1-ol or Behenic alcohol, is mainly used in cosmetic products such as creams, shampoos, sunscreens, make-up lotions, mouthwashes and more. It is a substance that is popular for its ability to create a creamy, smooth texture. This makes it an ideal ingredient for skin and body creams, where it adds that luxurious feel to the skin. It can also appear in washing and cleaning products as it helps to disperse and dissolve other ingredients. The North American FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has recognized docosanol as safe. Despite its general safety, people with sensitive skin or allergies should always consult a dermatologist or pharmacist about the presence of this alcohol in products.
