Cosmetic Grade 1-Docosanol(CAS 661-19-8)
Cosmetic Grade 1-Docosanol is a high-purity natural long-chain saturated fatty alcohol extracted from plant vegetable oil, also known as Behenyl Alcohol. Different from ordinary short-chain alcohols that are volatile and irritating, 1-Docosanol has stable chemical properties, non-volatile and non-degreasing, with ultra-mild skin-friendly characteristics.
It serves as a multi-functional cosmetic raw material integrating emollient, thickener, stabilizer and soothing repair agent. In skincare formulas, it can form a dense protective lipid film on the skin surface, effectively lock skin moisture, reduce transdermal water loss, and fundamentally improve dry, rough, chapped and peeling skin problems caused by lack of water.
Meanwhile, it has unique mild anti-inflammatory activity, which can soothe skin redness, dry swelling and mild sensitivity, repair damaged skin barrier, and enhance skin self-protection ability. In terms of formula application, 1-Docosanol can effectively thicken oil-phase systems, stabilize emulsion structure, prevent lotion and cream from stratification and precipitation, significantly improve product ductility and delicate skin feel, avoid greasy and sticky feeling, and improve product grade.
With pure texture, no peculiar smell, high safety and wide compatibility, it is an indispensable high-quality base material for high-end moisturizing repair, sensitive skin care and high-stability emulsion skincare products.
