CAS 112-92-5: Stearyl alcohol
Description:Stearyl alcohol, also known as octadecanol, is a long-chain fatty alcohol with the chemical formula C18H38O. It is a white, waxy solid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and chloroform. Stearyl alcohol is derived from natural sources, often obtained from the hydrolysis of fats and oils, and can also be synthesized through the reduction of stearic acid. It is commonly used in cosmetic and personal care products as an emollient, emulsifier, and thickening agent, contributing to the texture and stability of formulations. Additionally, stearyl alcohol serves as a lubricant and surfactant in various industrial applications. Its properties include a high melting point and low volatility, making it suitable for use in formulations that require stability at elevated temperatures. Overall, stearyl alcohol is valued for its moisturizing properties and ability to enhance the sensory feel of products, making it a popular ingredient in lotions, creams, and hair care products.
