What it does
Arachidyl alcohol is a long-chain fatty alcohol (not a drying solvent alcohol). It thickens creams and lotions, helps stabilize oil-and-water emulsions, and lends a rich, smooth, conditioning feel. It is often paired with behenyl alcohol and a glucoside emulsifier. It is a texture-and-stability ingredient rather than an active.
