About Oleyl Alcohol

Oleyl Alcohol is an unsaturated fatty alcohol.[1] In cosmetics, it is used to reduce friction on the skin or hair and add a smooth feel, prevent the characteristic odor or taste of raw materials from becoming too pronounced, and add fragrance to products or adjust the characteristic odor of raw materials.[2] It is also used to dissolve other raw materials to create a uniform formulation and to control the viscosity and flow of formulations.[2]
