Its chemical formula is CH3(CH2)15OH. At room temperature, Cetyl alcohol takes the form of a waxy white solid or flakes. It belongs to the group of fatty alcohols. With the demise of commercial whaling, cetyl alcohol is no longer primarily produced from whale oil, but instead either as an end-product of the petroleum industry or produced from vegetable oils such as palm oil and coconut oil. Production of cetyl alcohol from palm oil gives rise to one of its alternative names, palmityl alcohol. 1-Hexadecanol is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble in water, and relatively neutral. It has a waxy or oily aroma and a ‚Äúclean cloth‚Äù waxy or oily taste. It is used in the food and cosmetic industry as an emollient, an emulsifying agent, a foam boosting agent, a masking agent, a surfactant, a viscosity controlling agent and a pacifying agent. Hexadecanol is found in, or is added to, shampoos, conditioners, toothpaste, inks, paints, pharmaceuticals, skin creams and lotions. It is also added to certain hard candies and frozen treats. People who suffer from eczema can be sensitive to hexadecanol as it is sometimes included in medications used for the treatment of eczema (PMID: 15059111).1-Cetanol1-Hexadecanol1-Hexadecyl alc1-Hexadecyl alcohol1-Hexanedecanol1-Hydroxyhexadecane16-HexadecanolAdolAdol 52Adol 52 NFAdol 52NFAdol 54Alcohol C-16Aldol 54Alfol 16Atalco CC16 AlcoholCachalot C-50Cachalot C-50 NFCachalot C-51Cachalot C-52Ceraphyl icaCetaffineCetalCetalol caCetanolCethyl alcoholCetyl alcohol NFCetyl alcohol, USANCetylalkoholCetylic alcoholCetylolCrodacol CCrodacol C70Crodacol C95NFCrodacol-casCrodacol-catCyclal cetyl alcoholDehydag wax 16Dytol F-11Elfacos CEpal 16NFEthalEtholEutanol g16Exxal 16Fancol caFatty alcoholFEMA 2554Hexadecan-1-olHexadecanolHexadecanol NFHexadecyl alcoholHyfatolHyfatol 16Isocetyl alcoholIsohexadecanolIsohexadecyl alcoholLanette 16Lanol CLipocol CLorol 24Lorol C16LorolL 24Loxanol kLoxanol k extraLoxanwachs skLoxiol vpg 1743Michel xo-150-16N-1-HexadecanolN-Cetyl alcoholN-Hexadecan-1-olN-HexadecanolN-Hexadecyl alcoholNormal primary hexadecyl alcoholPalmityl alcoholPhilcohol 1600Product 308Rita caSiponol CCSiponol wax-aSSDSSD rpC16H34O242.4406242.26096571hexadecan-1-olcetyl alcohol36653-82-4CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCOInChI=1S/C16H34O/c1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13-14-15-16-17/h17H,2-16H2,1H3BXWNKGSJHAJOGX-UHFFFAOYSA-N belongs to the class of organic compounds known as long-chain fatty alcohols.
