General Description

Alcohols, C12-18 are a group of organic compounds commonly used in skincare and haircare products as emollients and emulsifiers. They are derived from natural sources such as coconut or palm oil, and have a long carbon chain length ranging from 12 to 18 carbon atoms. These alcohols are known for their moisturizing properties and ability to soften and smooth the skin and hair. They can also function as solvents and surfactants, helping to dissolve other ingredients and stabilize the formulas of cosmetic products. Additionally, Alcohols, C12-18 have antimicrobial properties, making them useful as preservatives in some cosmetic formulations.
