Application Areas
1. Cosmetic Manufacturing Industry: Behenyl alcohol is primarily used as a solid emollient and fatting agent, which can moisturize the skin and provide a smooth texture. It also has good viscosity stability and can form a film on hair to provide volumizing effects. In color cosmetics, behenyl alcohol functions as a moisturizer, solubilizer, and pigment dispersant, while also serving as a viscosity modifier.
2. Pharmaceutical Industry: Behenyl alcohol raw material and its cream are novel anti-herpes virus drugs, mainly used to treat recurrent oral and facial herpes simplex. Its therapeutic effect is superior to currently clinically used nucleoside antiviral drugs, with lower toxicity and side effects.

Packaging Method
Kraft Bags

Storage Conditions: Generally stable under normal storage conditions. However, specific storage conditions may vary depending on the product's purity, packaging, and intended use. Generally, to avoid potential degradation or contamination, it is recommended to store behenyl alcohol in a dry, cool, well-ventilated area, away from fire and heat sources. Additionally, containers should be tightly sealed to prevent moisture or other impurities from entering.
Shelf Life: 2 years (unopened)
