Behenyl Alcohol

Behenyl Alcohol · Conditioning

THE INGREDIENT

A non-drying fatty alcohol that adds softness and slip while helping conditioning ingredients distribute evenly across the hair fibre.

01 / FUNCTION

What It Does.

Behenyl Alcohol is a long-chain fatty alcohol used to improve the texture, stability and conditioning properties of hair-care formulations.

It helps soften the hair surface, improve slip and reduce friction between strands, making hair easier to detangle and manage.

Within a conditioner, it also acts as a structuring agent, helping create a consistent formulation that spreads evenly through the hair.

02 / FORMULATION

Why CUERI Uses It.

Effective conditioning depends not only on which actives are included, but also on how evenly they are delivered across the hair.

CUERI uses Behenyl Alcohol in its 11:1 Biomimetic Conditioner to create a stable, creamy structure that supports the distribution of conditioning ingredients.

Its emollient properties help improve softness and slip, while its structuring role contributes to a more uniform conditioning experience from root to tip.
