Behenyl alcohol

Behenyl alcohol acts as a gentle, nourishing emollient that suits almost all skin types and appears primarily in serums. It easily fits into a daily routine when applied apart from vitamin C, bio-placenta peptides, and hexapeptide. Users can enjoy a smooth, reliable addition to their personal care regimen.
