Oleyl alcohol has been recognized for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, and its ability to inhibit certain bacterial growth. In industrial research, it is investigated for its properties as an emollient and its ability to stabilize emulsions, making it a subject of interest in the development of non-ionic surfactants. As a surfactant, oleyl alcohol can reduce the surface tension of liquids, which aids in its ability to penetrate skin and other tissues, and to interact with proteins and other molecules within. Its interactions with cell membranes may induce changes in cellular structure and functions.
