Oleyl alcohol /ˈoʊliˌɪl, ˈoʊliəl/,[1] or cis-9-octadecen-1-ol, is an unsaturated fatty alcohol with the molecular formula C18H36O or the condensed structural formula CH3(CH2)7-CH=CH-(CH2)8OH.
Oleyl alcohol is a colorless oil, mainly used in cosmetics.
Oleyl alcohol can be produced by the hydrogenation of oleic acid esters by Bouveault–Blanc reduction, which avoids reduction of the C=C group (as would occur with usual catalytic hydrogenation).
The required oleate esters are obtained from beef fat, fish oil, and, in particular, olive oil (from which it gains its name).
The original procedure was reported by Louis Bouveault in 1904 and subsequently refined.
Oleyl alcohol has uses as a nonionic surfactant, emulsifier, emollient and thickener in skin creams, lotions and many other cosmetic products including shampoos and hair conditioners.
Oleyl alcohol has also been investigated as a carrier for delivering medications through the skin or mucus membranes; particularly the lungs
Oleyl alcohol also is a precursor for the preparation of its sulfuric ester derivatives, which are used in detergents and wetting agents.

Scientific Facts:
Stearyl Alcohol and Oleyl Alcohol are mixtures of long-chain fatty alcohols. Stearyl Alcohol consists primarily of n-octadecanol, while Oleyl Alcohol is primarily unsaturated 9-n-octadecenol. Octyldodecanol is a branched chain fatty alcohol. Fatty alcohols are higher molecular weight nonvolatile alcohols. They are produced from natural fats and oils by reduction of the fatty acid (-COOH) grouping to the hydroxyl function (-OH). Alternately, several completely synthetic routes yield fatty alcohols which may be structurally identical or similar to the naturally-derived alcohols.
Oleyl alcohol is mainly used in topical pharmaceutical formulations and is generally regarded as a nontoxic and nonirritant material at the levels employed as an excipient.
However, contact dermatitis due to oleyl alcohol has been reported. The results of acute oral toxicity and percutaneous studies in animals with products containing 8% oleyl alcohol indicate a very low toxicity. Formulations containing 8% or 20% oleyl alcohol administered by gastric intubation, at doses up to 10 g/kg bodyweight, caused no deaths and no toxic effects in rats.
Oleyl Alcohol can be used as a superfatting agent, an emulsifier, and as an emollient. It used as an oily component for cosmetic preparation such as creams and also as a solvent in cosmetic applications, such as lipstick. It is ideal for formulations where a wide pH is needed as a dispersing agent for color pigments. Oleyl alcohol can also be used as a wetting agent, defoamer, and conditioning agent.
