C14-22 Alcohols is a broad category of compounds that can serve different functions in cosmetics and skincare. Short-chain alcohols, such as denatured alcohol and ethanol, are often used as solvents, preservatives, or astringents, but they can be drying to the skin. On the other hand, fatty alcohols like cetyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol are emollients that provide a moisturizing and conditioning effect, helping to soften and smooth the skin without causing irritation.
