Arachidyl Alcohol
Other names: 1-Eicosanol, 1-Eicosanol
Harm score: 2 (Derivatives of natural substances)
Arachidyl Alcohol, also known as 1-Eicosanol or 1-Eicosanol, is a component of vegetable waxes made from arachidic acid, a saturated fatty acid that occurs naturally in some types of nuts and seeds. This substance is found in the form of white powder or crystals in various plant species. Because it is an excellent emollient, which means that it can soften and smooth the skin, it is often used in the cosmetic industry.
Mostly, arachidyl alcohol is used in cosmetics as an ingredient in creams, mousses, lip balms, hair products, makeup and other makeup products. It is added to these products because it improves the consistency and stability of the formulas and helps bind the other ingredients together. In addition to giving products a soft and luxurious look, it also increases hydration of the skin and hair and improves their overall appearance. However, despite its skin and hair benefits, arachidyl alcohol is not recommended for sensitive or irritated skin as it can cause mild irritation. It is always important to consult a dermatologist or aesthetician before incorporating new ingredients into your daily skin and hair care routine.
