Behenyl Alcohol

Description

Harness the firm, elegant power of Behenyl Alcohol, the longest-chain fatty alcohol in common cosmetic use (C22), derived from rapeseed or palm oil, for your Build-Your-Own ORY^® skincare, haircare, cosmetics, and solid bars. Like cetyl and stearyl alcohol, it is a moisturizing emollient, thickener, and emulsion stabilizer — never a drying alcohol — but with a higher melting point (~70 °C), a drier, less waxy feel, and superior heat stability, qualities prized in premium creams, sticks, and warm-climate products. It is reviewed as safe by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review Panel. In your custom premium cream or oil-free-feel moisturizer, it gives every skin type firm, dry-touch richness and helps reduce water loss. In your conditioner or mask, it pairs naturally with BTMS for slip, softness, and body. In your lip balm, balm stick, or deodorant stick, it holds shape even in heat. In your cosmetics, it structures lipsticks and foundations. In your handmade range, it firms conditioner and lotion bars. Customize your cruelty-free, vegan formulation for elegant, stable textures. Caution: Rare fatty-alcohol sensitivity — patch test before first use. Not for cold-process soap.
