Biological Activity
| Description | 1-Hexadecanol is a fatty alcohol used to make other chemicals. |
|---|---|
| In vitro | 1-Hexadecanol is often used to make other chemicals used in detergents, cleaners, to help make plastics, adhesives and to help change the thickness of liquid products. 1-Hexadecanol is also used directly in cosmetics and personal care products. It is used as a skin softener and to help skin keep its moisture. It helps keep oils and water mixed together and change the thickness of liquid products. 1-Hexadecanol is used to turn creams an opaque color which protects the product from light. It can also be used as a lubricant for nuts, bolts, washers, pins and other fasteners. [1] |
| In vivo | 1-Hexadecanol has been tested in many toxicology studies. These studies show 1-Hexadecanol has a low toxicity when it is breathed in, swallowed, or touches the skin. The main hazard of 1-Hexdecanol is it can cause mild to moderate skin and eye irritation. The irritation is short lasting and will go away after you are no longer exposed. 1-Hexadecanol does not cause damage to genes. 1-Hexadecanol is easily broken down by the body. This prevents 1-Hexadecanol from building up in the body. [1] |
