Uses

Isostearylalcohol can be used as an aerosol type hair dye or bleach composition.

Definition

ChEBI: 16-methylheptadecan-1-ol is a long-chain primary fatty alcohol that is heptadecan-1-ol substituted by a hydroxy group at position 1 and a methyl group at position 16. It is functionally related to a heptadecan-1-ol. It derives from a hydride of a heptadecane.
