Frequently asked questions
What is SustOleo BA?
SustOleo BA is Brassica Alcohol, a plant-derived fatty alcohol from rapeseed supplied as white to pale yellow pastilles. It thickens, structures and stabilises formulations.
What does it replace in a formula?
It is designed as a plant-based alternative to conventional fatty alcohols such as cetyl and cetearyl alcohol, working as a co-emulsifier and viscosity builder in creams and conditioners.
Can I use it in anhydrous products?
Yes. It works in both emulsions and anhydrous systems such as balms and sticks. Melt it with your oil phase; the full specification is available on request.
