Docosanol, also known as behenyl alcohol, is a 22-carbon aliphatic alcohol derived either synthetically or from plant sources. Known for its emollient, opacifying, thickening, and emulsifying properties, behenyl alcohol is increasingly used in personal care, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical products. According to a recent report by Fact.MR, the global behenyl alcohol market is projected to reach a revenue of US$ 276.3 million by 2034, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8% from 2024 to 2034.

In addition to its emollient benefits, behenyl alcohol acts as a hydrating agent and stabilizer in personal hygiene products, such as scrubs and body butters. It thickens products and reduces transparency, giving them a smooth, consistent texture. By helping to replenish moisture in the skin, behenyl alcohol is commonly incorporated into face and body products. Its applications extend to pharmaceuticals, nutritional supplements, and personal hygiene items, all of which drive growth in the global behenyl alcohol market.
