CAS 593-31-7

Selachyl alcohol

Description:

Selachyl alcohol, with the CAS number 593-31-7, is a chemical compound classified as a long-chain aliphatic alcohol. It is derived from the fatty acids found in shark liver oil, which is where its name is derived from "selachii," referring to sharks. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and has a characteristic fatty odor. Selachyl alcohol is known for its hydrophobic properties, making it less soluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. It is primarily used in the cosmetic and personal care industries as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent, providing moisturizing benefits. Additionally, it may serve as a surfactant and emulsifier in various formulations. The compound's structure features a long hydrocarbon chain, contributing to its physical properties and functionality in formulations. Safety data indicates that it is generally regarded as safe for use in cosmetic products, although, like many chemicals, it should be handled with care to avoid potential irritation.
