Opacifier and emulsion stabilizer. "water-in-oil" and "oil-in-water" emulsions to increase viscosity and prevent phase separation. Long carbon chain ensures a non-greasy, matte application on the skin, making it a favourite for facial moisturizers and luxury body butters
1-Docosanol is an FDA-approved antiviral agent used specifically in topical treatments for Herpes Simplex (cold sores). Works by inhibiting the fusion between the virus and the host cell membrane. Serves as a robust stiffening agent for medicated ointments and suppositories
Slip agent and internal lubricant in plastics manufacturing. Improves low properties of polymers during extrusion and reduces friction in high-performance mechanical lubricants
Stable under recommended storage conditions
Resists oxidation better than unsaturated fatty alcohols
Store in a cool, dry place (below 30deg)
Keep away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent clumping of the pellets
Behenyl Alcohol has a longer carbon chain (C22 Vs C16/C18), which results in a higher melting point and a significantly higher "thickening power." It provides a much drier, velvet-like finish compared to the slightly more "waxy" feel of Cetyl Alcohol.
We offer both Rapeseed-derived (naturally palm-free) and RSPO MB Certified palm-derived grades to meet your specific sustainability and global compliance requirements. Full traceability documentation is available upon request.
Yes. We provide a Pharma-Grade Beheny! Alcohol that meets the stringent purity requirements for use as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) or high-functionality excipient, ensuring low residual catalyst and moisture levels.
With a melting point around 70°C, Behenyl Alcohol requires a heated jacketed vessel for incorporation into the oil phase of an emulsion. It disperses easily once melted, ensuring a smooth, lump-free batch.
