Usage

General Description

"Alcohols, C8-10" refers to alcohols with carbon chain lengths of 8 to 10 carbon atoms. These chemicals belong to the larger family of fatty alcohols, which are typically non-toxic and find extensive use in the cosmetics and personal care product industries due to their emollient and emulsifying properties. They can serve as viscosity-increasing agents, emulsion stabilizers, and surfactant-cleansing agents in shampoos, moisturizers, and other similar products. Typically, these alcohols are derived from natural sources like plant or vegetable oils, or synthetically produced from petroleum-derived sources. C8-10 alcohols are not anticipated to be harmful to human health at the low concentrations used in personal care products. Nevertheless, they are subject to regulation and must meet strict safety and environmental standards.
