• Description: Oleyl alcohol is a linear, primary alcohol that has a hydroxyl group at the end of the carbon chain. It is used in the manufacture of detergents and as a food additive. Oleyl alcohol has been shown to inhibit cell lysis in human leukemia HL-60 cells, and to possess anti-inflammatory properties. The optimum concentration for oleyl alcohol is between 0.01% and 1%, although it can be used up to 20%. Oleyl alcohol may also be effective against bacterial enzymes when combined with metoprolol succinate, which can enhance its effects on enzyme activity by up to 3 times. Oleyl alcohol is found naturally in olive oil and other plants, which makes it a safe compound for use in cosmetics or other products.
