C14-22 Alcohols

Description

C14-22 Alcohols are a mixture of fatty alcohols with long chains containing 14 to 22 carbon atoms. They are used in cosmetics as emollients, thickeners, emulsion stabilizers, and skin softeners. Fatty alcohols help improve the texture of the product, making it thicker, creamier, and easy to apply. These alcohols do not dry out the skin, but instead create a protective barrier that retains moisture, softens, and nourishes the skin. They are often included in the composition of creams, lotions, balms, hair products, and decorative cosmetics.
