Glycerin at WIKIPEDIA

Glycerol is an organic compound, also commonly called glycerin or glycerine. It is a colorless, odorless, viscous liquid that is widely used in pharmaceutical formulations. Glycerol has three hydrophilic hydroxyl groups that are responsible for its solubility in water and its hygroscopic nature. The glycerol substructure is a central component of many lipids. Glycerol is sweet-tasting and of low toxicity.

Stearyl alcohol

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stearyl alcohol (also known as octadecyl alcohol or 1-octadecanol) is a substance prepared from stearic acid by the process of catalytic hydrogenation. It is a fatty alcohol. It takes the form of white solid granules or flakes which are insoluble in water, with a melting point of 61°C and boiling point of 210°C (at 15 mmHg). It has a wide range of uses as an ingredient in lubricants, resins, perfumes and cosmetics. It is used as an emollient, emulsifier, and thickener in ointments of various sorts, and is widely used as a hair coating in shampoos and hair conditioners. Octadecyl alcohol is even used as a liquid solar blanket in swimming pools by forming a molecule thick layer on the surface of the water and slowing the evaporation rate of the pool water.
Its chemical formula is CH3(CH2)17OH.

What The meaning or those INGREDIENTS?

So many questions pop-up when I saw (and read) every product (soaps, shampoo, toothpaste, candy, etc) with note at their cover : INGREDIENTS : WATER, STEARYL ALCOHOL, CETYL ALCOHOL... bla bla bla...

So, I create this BLOG for every "chemical" names at those cover!
