About

Isocetyl Isoarachidol is a cosmetic ingredient. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Isocetyl isoarachidol is an isomer of cetyl alcohol with branched-chain modifications. The isoarachidol component indicates a C20 saturated alcohol with specific branching. This structure provides superior emollient properties compared to linear chain alcohols while maintaining the excellent safety profile typical of fatty alcohols. Isocetyl alcohol derivatives have been used extensively in cosmetics with no safety concerns.
