Spermaceti and the Alpha-Gal Friendly Diet

Spermaceti is a waxy substance that was traditionally harvested from the head cavities of sperm whales and, occasionally, dolphins. It was once widely used as an ingredient in cosmetics, ointments, and candles due to its excellent emollient properties and ability to stabilize products. However, its use has significantly decreased due to conservation efforts and international regulations protecting whales.
