Arachidyl alcohol (icosan-1-ol), is a waxy substance used as an emollientincosmetics. It is a straight-chain fatty alcohol with 20 carbon atoms, typically obtained via the hydrogenation of arachidic acidorarachidonic acid, both of which are present in peanut oil. Its name is derived from that of the peanut plant (Latin: arachis).
