Have you ever noticed that incredibly smooth feeling after applying your favorite Aloderma lotion? That luxurious texture owes a debt to an ingredient called Arachidyl Alcohol, a naturally-derived goodness found in many of our farm-to-skin products.

So, what exactly is Arachidyl Alcohol, and how does it benefit your skin within the context of the Aloderma difference? It might sound like a harsh chemical, but fear not! Arachidyl Alcohol is a fatty alcohol, a plant-derived oil (often from peanuts or rice bran) that acts as an emollient. That scientific term simply means it helps soften and smooth the skin. Here at Aloderma, we love using natural emollients like Arachidyl Alcohol because they mimic the skin's natural oils, locking in moisture and creating that silky, soft feeling we all crave.

Arachidyl Alcohol perfectly complements our core ingredient, organic Aloe Vera. Aloe Vera is powerful for its soothing and hydrating properties, but it can sometimes have a slightly sticky texture. Arachidyl Alcohol helps balance that texture, creating a luxuriously smooth and easily absorbed product. This is especially important in our Aloe Brightening Eye Cream, where a lightweight, fast-absorbing formula is key in the delicate under-eye area.

Arachidyl Alcohol is also a fantastic thickener, allowing us to create our nourishing products with a delightful texture without resorting to harsh chemicals. This gentle ingredient is readily absorbed by the skin, making it a perfect choice for all skin types, even those on the sensitive side.

So, the next time you experience that velvety feeling after using your favorite Aloderma product, remember, it's thanks in part to the power of Arachidyl Alcohol, a little piece of plant-based science keeping your skin happy and healthy, all while staying true to our farm-to-skin promise!
