Product Description
Tridecyl Alcohol (TDA‑10) is a high‑purity, versatile fatty alcohol widely used in skin care, hair care, home care, surfactant systems, emulsions, and multiple cosmetic formulations. It functions as an emollient, co‑emulsifier, viscosity enhancer, spreading agent, and solubilizer. TDA‑10 improves texture, enhances stability, and boosts the performance of creams, lotions, conditioners, liquid detergents, and specialty blends.
It is also suitable for DIY formulators, cosmetic brands, personal care manufacturers, and home‑care product makers, subject to proper handling and regulatory compliance.
