About C20-40 Alcohols

C20-40 Alcohols are a mixture of synthetic fatty alcohols with alkyl chains containing 20–40 carbon atoms.[1] In cosmetics, they are used to create emulsified formulations in which water and oil are evenly mixed, keep the emulsion from separating easily, and leave the skin’s surface soft and smooth.[2] They are also used to help prevent the formulation’s condition and properties from changing easily during storage.[2]
