About

Arachidyl alcohol — a long-chain fatty alcohol used to thicken creams and leave skin feeling soft and conditioned. Different chemistry from drying short-chain alcohols; well-tolerated and CIR-confirmed safe at cosmetic concentrations.

Skin benefits

  • Thickens creams and improves emulsion stability
  • Skin-conditioning fatty alcohol — softens, not drying
  • Good co-emulsifier with non-stripping feel

Known concerns

  • No significant concerns at cosmetic concentrations
  • Common name shared with drying short-chain alcohols, but unrelated chemistry
