Shows peanut oil containing 2.0%, 2.5%, and 3.0% of AHCOHOL 1898 (C18OH).

The minimum gelling concentration (MGC), that is the lowest concentration that is permitted to obtain a self-standing material, is 2.5% (w/w). As described by Valoppi et al. (2017), the MGC depends on the chain length of the fatty alcohol and decreases as the chain length of fatty alcohols increases.
The MGC is also affected by the cooling rate applied: upon fast cooling, the ability of molecules to gel is reduced with a concomitant increase of the MGC.

For instance, the MGC of AHCOHOL 1898 in peanut oil increases from 2.5% to 7.0% (w/w) upon cooling at 5 and 40°C/min, respectively.
This is due to the changes in crystal size and morphology as a consequence of the cooling rate used during oleogel preparation.

AHCOHOL 1898 is evident that a slow cooling rate (5°C/min) of oil with 5% of C18OH leads to the formation of crystal structures 10 times larger than at a fast cooling rate (40°C/min).
Similar results were obtained for C16OH-, C20OH-, and C22OH-containing oleogels.

AHCOHOL 1898 is a component of processing fluids, and in the paint and varnish industry serves as a component of open-time regulators.

Benefits of AHCOHOL 1898:

Benefits for Skin:
On the flip side, because AHCOHOL 1898 is a fatty alcohol, AHCOHOL 1898 is not drying, non-irritating, and usually beneficial when used consistently.
AHCOHOL 1898 acts as an emollient, leaving the skin feeling smooth and soft by forming a protective layer on the surface and helping to prevent moisture loss.
AHCOHOL 1898 is often combined with cetyl alcohol (another fatty alcohol) to create AHCOHOL 1898, which also has emollient properties.

The primary reason AHCOHOL 1898 shows up in skincare products has more to do with formulation reasons and AHCOHOL 1898 ability to act as an emulsifier, ensuring that oil and water can be blended so that products ultimately feel thicker and more cosmetically pleasing.

Functions of AHCOHOL 1898:
AHCOHOL 1898 is a popular alcohol added to many cosmetic formulations.
AHCOHOL 1898 action is based on the function of the solvent of active substances, the function of a preservative or emulsifier.

Moreover, AHCOHOL 1898 has other important functions in cosmetic products:

Bodying agent:
As a substance with emulsion stabilising properties, AHCOHOL 1898 gives the desired form of a cosmetic product.
AHCOHOL 1898 is responsible for the stabilisation of oil-in-water emulsions, water-in-oil emulsions and water-free formulations.

AHCOHOL 1898 directly affects the viscosity of a product, giving AHCOHOL 1898 appropriate performance and application properties.
Fatty alcohols, which include cetyl alcohol and AHCOHOL 1898, are designed to stabilise the emulsion, i.e., prevent AHCOHOL 1898 from delaminating into water and oily components.
AHCOHOL 1898 also provides and improves spreadability and can support foaming.

Emollient:
AHCOHOL 1898 is included in a range of cosmetics designed for skin and hair care.
AHCOHOL 1898 creates a so-called occlusive layer on the surface.

AHCOHOL 1898 prevents excessive evaporation of water, thus keeping skin and hair soft and smooth.
For this reason, AHCOHOL 1898 is dedicated primarily for use on dry skin.

As an emollient, AHCOHOL 1898 is indirectly also a cosmetic ingredient with a moisturising effect.
AHCOHOL 1898 reduces the drying effect of anionic surfactants – leaves the skin moisturised and covered with a protective layer.

Regreasing substance:
Cleansing cosmetic products remove sebum and epidermal fatty substances from the skin surface.
While AHCOHOL 1898 is desirable to thoroughly clean the skin, AHCOHOL 1898 also allows unwanted substances from the environment to penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin.
For this reason, regreasing substances, such as AHCOHOL 1898, are commonly added to cosmetics, creating a specific protective layer.

Emulsifying:
Promotes the formation of intimate mixtures between immiscible liquids by modifying the interfacial tension (water and oil).

Emulsion stabilising:
Promotes the emulsification process and improves the stability and shelf life of the emulsion.

Foam boosting:
Improves the quality of the foam produced by increasing one or more of the following properties: volume, texture and/or stability.

Masking:
Reduces or inhibits the odor or basic taste of the product.

Opacifying:
Reduces transparency or translucency of cosmetics.

Refatting:
Restores lipids in hair or in upper layers of the skin.

Surfactant:
Reduces the surface tension of cosmetics and contributes to the even distribution of AHCOHOL 1898 when it is used.

Viscosity controlling:
Increases or decreases the viscosity of cosmetics.

Cosmetic products containing AHCOHOL 1898:
Hair shampoos,
Hair conditioners,
Cleansing milks and oils,
Shower gels,
Body lotions,
Hand and foot creams,
Aftershave creams,
Body scrubs,
Self-tanners,
Anti-wrinkle creams,
Hair removal preparations,
Mascaras,
Lip balms,
Anti-acne preparations.

Characteristics of AHCOHOL 1898:

Both of these alcohols are fatty alcohols.

Manufacturing Methods of AHCOHOL 1898:

Pharmacology and Biochemistry of AHCOHOL 1898:

Bionecessity:
AHCOHOL 1898 is found naturally in various mammalian tissues.
AHCOHOL 1898 is used in the biosynthesis of lipids and other naturally occurring cellular constituents and enters metabolic pathways for energy production.

Action Mechanism of AHCOHOL 1898:
Ethanol, 1-propanol, 1-butanol, 1-pentanol and 1-octanol had essentially the same effects on the mitochondrial ultrastructure: a mixed population of small and enlarged mitochondria with poorly developed cristae.
1-dodecanol induced ultrastructural changes of mitochondria of two distinct types: a mixed population of small and enlarged mitochondria with poorly developed cristae in some hepatocytes and remarkably enlarged mitochondria with well-developed cristate in others; and AHCOHOL 1898 induced remarkably enlarged mitochondria in all hepatocytes.

The reactivity of the fatty alcohols with cetrimide decreased with increasing chain length although branching on the tetradecanol and hexadecanol resulted in a higher reactivity.
Adding AHCOHOL 1898 to 1-hexadecanol resulted in an increased reactivity rising to a maximum for mixtures containing 20-40% w/w AHCOHOL 1898.

Peak inhibition was recorded with saturated primary alcohols (64 microM) varying in chain length from 16 to 19 carbon atoms.
The unsaturated alcohols (oleyl, linoleyl, and linolenyl) and the secondary alcohol (pentadecan-2-ol) were considerably less effective growth inhibitors.
Stearic and palmitic acids were also ineffective.

After incubation of stationary phase Leishmania donovani with [1-14C]octadecanol, about 70% of the precursor was taken up within 3 hr.
Wax esters and acyl moieties of glycerolipids contained most of the 14C-activity from 3 to 6 hr, because octadecanol was partly oxidized to stearate.

Ether moieties were only weakly labeled.
After 40 hr, 1-0-alkyl and 1-0-alk-1'-enyl diacylglycerols as well as 1-0-alkyl and 1-0-alk-1'-enyl-2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamines contained nearly all of the radioactivity.
Most of the label in the neutral ether lipids was located in the alkyl ether side chain, whereas, in the phosphatidylethanolamine fraction, most of the label was found in the alkenyl ether side chain.
