ACID VALUE (mg KOH/g) - Dodecanol /ˈdoʊˈdɛkɑːnɒl/, or lauryl alcohol, is an organic compound produced industrially from palm kernel oil or coconut oil. It is a fatty alcohol. Sulfate esters of lauryl alcohol, especially sodium lauryl sulfate, are very widely used as surfactants. Sodium lauryl sulfate, ammonium lauryl sulfate, and sodium laureth sulfate are all used in shampoos. Lauryl alcohol is tasteless and colorless with a floral odor.[3]
What is Lauryl alcohol?
Lauryl alcohol, also known as dodecanol, is an organic fatty alcohol.  on a large-scale basis, it is produced from palm kernel oil or coconut oil. It is a tasteless, colorless and floral odor.
Use & Benefits:
Lauryl alcohol is used vastly in the cosmetic industry in preparation of emulsion. When it is used in emulsion it can stabilize emulsion by getting incorporated into water and oil phase. It is fatty in nature, so when it is used on the skin, it also provides fat and moisture to the dried skin. It forms a layer on the skin which does not allow moisture to evaporate. So, when applied on the dried skin it gets a boost of moisture as well. It can also be used as a viscosity increasing agent. It is used in skincare, haircare, and body care product. 
Dodecanol can irritate the skin. It has about half the toxicity of ethanol, but it is very harmful to marine organismsIn 1993, the European demand of dodecanol was around 60 thousand tons per year (Tt/a). It can be obtained from palm kernel or coconut oil fatty acids and methyl esters by hydrogenation.[4] It may also be produced synthetically via the Ziegler process. A classic laboratory method involves Bouveault-Blanc reduction of ethyl laurate.[3]
Dodecanol is used to make surfactants, lubricating oils, pharmaceuticals, in the formation of monolithic polymers and as a flavor enhancing food additive. In cosmetics, dodecanol is used as an emollient. It is also the precursor to dodecanal, an important fragrance, and 1-bromododecane, an alkylating agent for improving the lipophilicity of organic molecules.
Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil, Dicaprylyl Ether, Magnolia Grandiflora Bark Extract and Lauryl Alcohol. PhytoDefense CLR™ by CLR Berlin acts as an anti-inflammatory and anti-redness agent. It is lipophilic active ingredient, based on an extract of the bark of magnolia grandiflora in a vegetable oil medium. PhytoDefense CLR™ is stabilized against rancidity with a natural extract of rosemary leaves. It significantly reduces both skin redness, induced by shaving and neurogenic inflammation, induced by the application of lactic acid on the skin. PhytoDefense CLR™ can be used in emulsified skin and hair care cosmetic formulations.
1-Dodecanol is a colorless liquid or crystalline solid. It has an unpleasant fatty odor at high concentrations, but a delicate floral smell when diluted. 1-Dodecanol is not soluble in water. USE: 1-Dodecanol is used in the making of detergents and soaps. It is found in personal care products including shampoo, soap, body wash, shaving gel and hair colorant. It is used to a lesser extent in wetting, emulsifying and foaming agents. It is used in fragrances and is approved for use in food. EXPOSURE: Workers that use or produce 1-dodecanol may breathe in mists or have direct skin contact. The general population may be exposed by eating food or drinking beverages that contain 1-dodecanol. Skin exposure will result from using some personal care items. If 1-dodecanol is released to the environment it will bind to particles in soil and water. It is expected to move slowly through soil. It is expected to move into air from wet soil and water surfaces. It will be broken down in soil and water by microorganisms. It is expected to build up moderately in aquatic organisms. If 1-dodecanol is released to air, it will be broken down by reactions with other chemicals. RISK: Skin irritation occurred in humans and laboratory animals following 24- to 48-hour direct contact with 1-dodecanol. No effects on fertility, abortions or birth defects in offspring were found in laboratory animals fed high concentrations of 1-dodecanol in food before mating. The potential for lifetime exposure to 1-dodecanol to cause cancer has not been studied in laboratory animals. The potential for 1-dodecanol to cause cancer in humans has not been assessed by the U.S. EPA IRIS program, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, or the U.S. National Toxicology Program 13th Report on Carcinogens.

Fatty alcohols, derived from natural fats and oils, are high molecular straight chain primary alcohols. They include lauryl (C12), MyrIstyl (C14), Cetyl ( or palmityl: C16), stearyl (C18), Oleyl (C18, unsaturated), and Linoleyl (C18, polyunsaturated) alcohols. There are synthetic fatty alcohols equivalent physically and chemically to natural alcohols obtained from oleochemical sources such as coconut and palm kernel oil. Fatty alcohols are emulsifiers and emollients to make skin smoother and prevent moisture loss. Identical fatty esters are used to improve rub-out of formulas and to control viscosity and dispersion characteristics in cosmetics, personal care products and pharmaceutical ingredients. As chemical intermediates, the primary use of fatty alcohols are as raw material for the production of fatty sulfate salts and alcohol ethoxylates for foaming and cleaning purposes in the field of detergent industry. Chemical reactions of primary alcohols include esterifications, ethoxylation, sulfation, oxidation and many other reactions. Their derivatives and end use applications include;
Nonionic surfactants (Ethoxylates and propoxylates)
Anionic surfactants (Alkyl sulfates and alkyl ethoxy sulfates)
Chemical intermediates and  polymerization modifiers (Alkyl halides, Alkyl mercaptans)
Quaternary ammonium compounds for detergent sanitisers, softner for textiles, phase transfer catalyst and biocides
Antioxidants for plastics (Alkyl thiopropionates and alkyl phosphites)
Lubricant additives (Metallic and thio alkylphosphates)
Flavor and Fragrance (Aldehydes and ketones)
PVC plasticizers (Dialkyl Phthalates, adipates and trimellitates)
Coatings and inks (acrylate and methacrylate esters)
Water treatment (acrylate and methacrylate esters)
Large amount of fatty alcohols are used as special solvents, fillers in plasticizer and insulating materials for the building industry. Fatty alcohols are used as ingredients in the industries of agricultural, foodstuff, metal processing, cosmetics, lube additive, pharmaceutical, rubber, textile, perfume and flavouring as well as synthetic detergent.
Some Methods has been developed to prepare Lauryl alcohol by the reduction process of aldehydes; by the reduction of esters of lauric acid with sodium and absolute alcohol or with sodium, liquid ammonia and by the reduction of lauramide with sodium and amyl alcohol.
Although Dodecanol exhibits non-polar narcotic toxicity to aquatic organisms of about 1 mg/l, the
substance is readily degradable and releases during production, or through diffuse uses of the free alcohol
do not give rise to environmental concerns
No risks were identified as a result of animal testing or experience with human use. The substance is
practically non-toxic, and is a permitted food additive (GRAS) in both the U.S. and the EU.
