Fatty Alcohol / Emollient Hydration & Barrier

What it is & what it does

Arachidyl Alcohol is a long-chain fatty alcohol that acts as an emollient and co-structurant.
Unlike drying alcohols, it softens skin, reduces rough feel and helps creams feel richer and more stable. Its value is barrier comfort and texture support rather than treatment of pigmentation or wrinkles.

Usage & cautions
