Behenyl Alcohol – Lanette 22

Lanette® 22 is a high-quality behenyl alcohol, widely recognized for its role in regulating viscosity in cosmetic and pharmaceutical oil-in-water emulsions. This white to light yellowish hydrophilic wax is supplied in convenient pellet form, offering ease of use and consistency in formulations.

As a critical consistency factor, Lanette® 22 is composed of Behenyl alcohol (1-docosanol), making it suitable for all types of oil-in-water emulsions. Its versatility extends to a wide range of applications, including after-sun care, antiperspirants and deodorants, baby care, body care, color care, conditioning products, face care, face cleansing, self-tanning, and sun protection.

Derived from natural, vegetable sources, Behenyl Alcohol is a long-chain fatty alcohol that excels in regulating viscosity in various formulations. It functions effectively as a thickener and stabilizer and can also be employed as a co-emulsifier. Additionally, it finds use in anhydrous formulations such as ointments, body butters, and scrubs, enhancing the texture and stability of these products.

Lanette® 22 aligns with eco-conscious values, being produced from non-genetically modified plants and free from genetically modified DNA (GMO-free). This commitment to quality and sustainability underlines its suitability for modern, responsible product development.
