Description
Batyl alcohol (CAS 544-62-7), also known as Batilol or 1-O-Octadecylglycerol, is a naturally occurring ether lipid derived from glycerol and stearyl alcohol. It belongs to the alkylglycerol family and carries no assigned E-code. Its molecular formula is C21H44O3.
In personal care formulations, batyl alcohol functions as a humectant and emollient by binding water within the skin barrier, while its amphiphilic structure supports oil-in-water emulsion stability. In pharmaceutical applications, it serves as a lipid carrier for active compounds, improving membrane permeability and facilitating dermal or oral delivery.
Batyl alcohol is supplied as a solid and is subject to REACH registration requirements for EU commerce. Procurement teams should confirm supplier compliance documentation and available lot-specific certificates of analysis. Packaging formats and purity grades vary by supplier; pharmaceutical-grade material should be evaluated against relevant pharmacopoeial standards where applicable.
