CAS 506-03-6

Chimyl alcohol

Description:

Chimyl alcohol, with the CAS number 506-03-6, is a long-chain fatty alcohol that is primarily derived from natural sources, particularly from the oil of the fruit of the Chimera plant. It is characterized by its hydrophobic nature due to its long hydrocarbon chain, which typically consists of 18 carbon atoms. This structure imparts properties such as low solubility in water and a tendency to act as a surfactant or emulsifier in various formulations. Chimyl alcohol is often used in the cosmetic and personal care industries for its moisturizing properties, as it can help to improve skin texture and hydration. Additionally, it may serve as a lubricant and thickening agent in various products. The substance is generally regarded as safe for use in cosmetics, although, like many alcohols, it can cause irritation in sensitive individuals. Its chemical stability and compatibility with other ingredients make it a valuable component in formulations aimed at enhancing skin and hair care products.

1-O-Hexadecyl-sn-glycerol

CAS: 506-03-6

1-O-Hexadecyl-sn-glycerol is a glycol ether that is used as a surfactant and emulsifier in cosmetic products. It has been shown to have minimal toxicity, and to not be carcinogenic or teratogenic. 1-O-Hexadecyl-sn-glycerol has been shown to increase the stability of proteins in rat liver microsomes, and it also prevents the hydrolysis of carbohydrates. The surface glycoprotein adsorbed by 1-O-Hexadecyl-sn-glycerol may play an important role in the binding of monoclonal antibodies. This compound affects cellular calcium levels, with high concentrations resulting in increased cytosolic calcium concentrations. Zirconium oxide can replace calcium ions in 1-O-Hexadecyl-sn-glycerol for this purpose, although this substitution reduces enzyme activity.
