Cosmetic Grade Behenyl Alcohol-CAS 661-19-8
Cosmetic Grade Behenyl Alcohol is a high-purity long-chain saturated fatty alcohol refined by professional hydrogenation purification and multi-stage fractionation technology.
As a premium cosmetic texture modifier and system stabilizer, it has longer carbon chain and more stable molecular structure than conventional C16/C18 fatty alcohols, with outstanding thickening, emulsifying auxiliary and anti-delamination performance.
It can scientifically adjust the viscosity and rheological property of cream and lotion products, optimize the delicate and full texture of cosmetics, and improve user application experience. It has excellent skin moisturizing and barrier repair effects, effectively improving dry and rough skin problems.
In hair care products, it can significantly enhance hair softness and anti-frizz effect. With mild formula property, strong high and low temperature stability and wide raw material compatibility, it can perfectly solve the problems of easy delamination, thin texture and poor stability of traditional emulsification systems, and is the preferred core stabilizing raw material for high-end long-shelf-life skin care and hair care products.
Key Benefits
