What do fatty alcohols do?

Fatty alcohols are long-chain alcohols derived from natural fats and oils. They serve various functions in cosmetic and personal care products, acting as emollients, emulsifiers, and thickening agents that enhance texture and stability. Additionally, they can provide moisture to the skin and hair, helping to improve hydration and overall feel. Their biodegradable nature also makes them a more environmentally friendly choice in formulations.
