Wide Applications of Stearyl Alcohol to Augment the Market Growth

Stearyl alcohol has emollient properties, and it can also function as an emulsifier and thickener in several products. Stearyl alcohol helps to form emulsions and prevent an emulsion from separating into its oil and liquid components. It also limits the tendency of finished products to generate foam when shaken. It is used in shampoos and hair care products owing to its conditioning properties. When used in the formulation of skincare products, it acts as a lubricant on the skin surface, which provides the skin a soft, smooth appearance. Further, stearyl alcohol is one of the most promising fatty alcohols to be consumed for food applications as an oil-structuring agent. These factors are expected to positively influence the growth of the stearyl alcohol market.
