  Why isn't C16 / C22 a thing… like C16/18 Cetearyl….What am I missing?

  We all know and love cetearyl alcohol….but recently I have pondered…..why is no one selling a Cetyl/Behenyl premade blend?

  What am I missing? Seems to be a brilliant plan to me…..but maybe I’m just the dullest knife in the drawer?

  Beyond obviously….cost….what am I missing?

  What shall we call it ? CeHen? CeNyl? CeEnyl? CeBeen, CeBee alcohol?

  Someone better get on this…while the iron is hot. ???? Don’t ever say….I’m not handing out million dollar ideas.

  The point you’re missing is biology paired with costs. Plants produce mixtures which can be roughly separated often resulting in medium chain (say C10-14) lengths and a C16 & C18 mixture 😉
