Shows peanut oil containing 2.0%, 2.5%, and 3.0% of 1-octadecanol (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 1-octadecanol 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.

1-octadecanol 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.

Applications of 1-octadecanol:
1-octadecanol is most commonly used in all kinds of cosmetic products.
1-octadecanol can also be successfully used in other industrial sectors.

1-octadecanol is found in a number of detergents – 1-octadecanol is responsible for foam stabilisation in products intended for cleaning hard surfaces.

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

Benefits of 1-octadecanol:

Benefits for Skin:
On the flip side, because 1-octadecanol is a fatty alcohol, 1-octadecanol is not drying, non-irritating, and usually beneficial when used consistently.
1-octadecanol 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.
1-octadecanol is often combined with cetyl alcohol (another fatty alcohol) to create 1-octadecanol, which also has emollient properties.

The primary reason 1-octadecanol shows up in skincare products has more to do with formulation reasons and 1-octadecanol 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 1-octadecanol:
1-octadecanol is a popular alcohol added to many cosmetic formulations.
1-octadecanol action is based on the function of the solvent of active substances, the function of a preservative or emulsifier.

Moreover, 1-octadecanol has other important functions in cosmetic products:

Bodying agent:
As a substance with emulsion stabilising properties, 1-octadecanol gives the desired form of a cosmetic product.
1-octadecanol is responsible for the stabilisation of oil-in-water emulsions, water-in-oil emulsions and water-free formulations.

1-octadecanol directly affects the viscosity of a product, giving 1-octadecanol appropriate performance and application properties.
Fatty alcohols, which include cetyl alcohol and 1-octadecanol, are designed to stabilise the emulsion, i.e., prevent 1-octadecanol from delaminating into water and oily components.
1-octadecanol also provides and improves spreadability and can support foaming.

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

1-octadecanol prevents excessive evaporation of water, thus keeping skin and hair soft and smooth.
For this reason, 1-octadecanol is dedicated primarily for use on dry skin.

As an emollient, 1-octadecanol is indirectly also a cosmetic ingredient with a moisturising effect.
1-octadecanol 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 1-octadecanol is desirable to thoroughly clean the skin, 1-octadecanol also allows unwanted substances from the environment to penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin.
For this reason, regreasing substances, such as 1-octadecanol, 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 1-octadecanol when it is used.

Viscosity controlling:
Increases or decreases the viscosity of cosmetics.

Cosmetic products containing 1-octadecanol:
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 1-octadecanol:

Both of these alcohols are fatty alcohols.

Manufacturing Methods of 1-octadecanol:
1-octadecanol is prepared commercially via Ziegler aluminum alkyl hydrolysis or the catalytic, high-pressure hydrogenation of stearyl acid, followed by filtration and distillation.

Pharmacology and Biochemistry of 1-octadecanol:

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

Action Mechanism of 1-octadecanol:
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 1-octadecanol 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 1-octadecanol to 1-hexadecanol resulted in an increased reactivity rising to a maximum for mixtures containing 20-40% w/w 1-octadecanol.

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.
