Beauty & Personal Care: Texture & Stability

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

Pharmaceuticals: Antiviral & Base Excipient

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

Industrial: Lubricants & Plastics

Slip agent and internal lubricant in plastics manufacturing. Improves low properties of polymers during extrusion and reduces friction in high-performance mechanical lubricants

Detail 1
