Introduction To Octacosyl Alcohol
Octacosyl Alcohol, also known as 1-Octacosanol, is a long-chain fatty alcohol derived from natural sources such as sugarcane wax, beeswax, and certain plant oils. Renowned for its high purity and natural origin, it plays a crucial role as an active ingredient in a variety of cosmetic and personal care formulations. At Shaanxi Rebecca Bio-Tech Co., LTD, we harness advanced production processes, including high-temperature drying and ultra-fine grinding, to retain maximum nutrients and natural properties. Our state-of-the-art facilities and rigorous quality control ensure a superior product that meets the diverse needs of our B2B clients, from global cosmetic giants to innovative niche brands.

Octacosanol Powder effects
Octacosanol Powder is a saturated linear higher fatty alcohol with various pharmacological effects and health benefits. The following are the main functions and benefits of octacosanol:
Anti fatigue effect: Octacosanol can increase the metabolic rate of the body, reduce muscle friction, thereby reducing necessary oxygen demand, improving reaction time, and eliminating muscle pain.
Regulating blood lipids: Octacosanol inhibits cholesterol synthesis by suppressing the activity of the key enzyme HMGCoA reductase, increasing its degradation. At the same time, it can also achieve lipid-lowering effects by increasing the number of low-density lipoprotein receptors, increasing the blood clearance rate of low-density lipoprotein, and elevating high-density lipoprotein.
Regulating blood sugar: Octacosanol can reduce insulin resistance, protect beta cells and their ability to secrete insulin. Research has shown that oral administration of octacosanol facilitates the binding of insulin to insulin receptors, reducing blood sugar, regulating lipid metabolism, lowering insulin resistance, improving beta cell function, and promoting insulin synthesis and secretion.
Antithrombotic: Octacosanol can inhibit platelet aggregation and reduce thrombus formation. Research has found that continuous use of octacosanol for 6 months can reduce levels of thromboxane B2 and decrease the formation of blood clots.
Anti arteriosclerosis: Octacosanol can delay or even reverse hypertensive carotid plaques, lower blood pressure, and reduce the occurrence of cerebrovascular events.
Regulating stroke: Long term use of octacosanol can significantly improve the survival rate of stroke and reduce the risk of ischemic stroke recurrence.
Other benefits: Octacosanol also has effects such as improving myocardial function, reducing systolic blood pressure, increasing basal metabolic rate, and stimulating hormone secretion. In addition, cosmetics containing octacosanol can promote blood circulation and activate cells in the skin, and have anti-inflammatory and preventive effects on skin diseases such as athlete's foot, eczema, itching, acne, etc.
