The details
Lauryl Alcohol is a type of fatty alcohol. It is derived from palm kernel oil or coconut oil . Fatty alcohols are not the same as drying, volatile alcohols like alcohol denatured or ethanol; they're designed to be non-sensitizing and hydrating. Lauryl alcohol pulls triple duty: Because lauryl alcohol falls within the C11 - C24 carbon chain range that the Malassezia yeast (fungal acne) can metabolize, this ingredient may not be fungal acne safe.
