  • Raw material question - Behenyl alcohol

    Hi all I Can’t source it from any suppliers in Australia. As its a fatty alcohol and is a viscosity modifier. Can I use another ingredient easily available that can replace this Ingredient? I will be using it for emulsions.

    Stearyl alcohol and Cetyl alcohol are other options.

    Behenyl feels drier but many would not even notice any difference.
