Waxy biochemical compound (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sterol

(Other definitions for sterol that I've seen before include "substance that doesn't dissolve" , "A solid higher alcohol" , "Ostler (anag) - natural alcohol" , "Solid form of alcohol" , "Waxy stuff" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
