Is Aliphatic Alcohol Pescatarian?
CautionSometimes. Aliphatic alcohol typically refers to the oil derived from sheep's glands, though it can come from plants as well. If the label does not provide a source, we recommend calling the manufacturer.
Aliphatic Alcohol and the Pescatarian Diet
Aliphatic alcohol refers to a class of organic compounds where the alcohol group is attached to an aliphatic carbon chain. These can include simple alcohols like ethanol or complex ones such as cetyl alcohol. In the context of skincare and cosmetics, these alcohols are often used as emollients, thickeners, or emulsifiers. They may be derived from animal sources, such as lanolin alcohol from sheep's wool glands, or from plant sources like coconut or palm oil. Due to their moisturizing properties, they are commonly found in lotions, creams, and other personal care products.
