C14-22 Alcohols is a synthetic emulsifying skincare ingredient used to help mix oil and water-based ingredients within a formula to increase texture, feel, and stability. It consists of fatty alcohols that feature 14-22 carbon atoms in their alkyl chain. It's most often used in a blend featuring other emulsifiers or surfactants. Its most common blend partner is C12-20 alkyl glucoside. Typical usage levels of this blend are 2% in leave-on products and 3–4% in rinse-off products. It acts as an emulsifier and helps defend against moisture loss and maintain a supple feel on skin. Montanov L is a non-ionic, liquid crystal emulsifier which produces oil-in-water emulsions. Liquid crystal emulsifiers create a lamellar or bilayered structure that mimics the lipid bilayers in our stratum corneum, which may help actives or lipids from our lotions penetrate our skin easier. They also help reduce transepidermal water loss as the lotions hold more water in contact with the skin for a longer period of time.
It can greatly protect skin in a dry environment. Ultra-white emulsions with soft, light texture Compatible with all kinds of active ingredients: anionic, cationic, etc. Stable in wide range of pH in formulations (pH = 3 - 11) Excellent dermo-compatibility Environmentally friendly - biodegradable Sustainable green synthesis 100% vegetable origin (GMO-free) Fatty alcohols can actually have a positive impact on your skin. Fatty acids have emollient properties, meaning they help to bolster your skin’s defensive barrier, by both locking in moisture and potentially protecting your skin from damage.

Repeated use of denatured alcohols can even cause cell death, which will significantly increase symptoms of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles, and loss of elasticity.
If you’re using a product that contains alcohol, just be sure it’s a rinse-away product, like a cleanser. The biggest place to avoid alcohols is in things like creams, foundations, primers, and serums.
