| Structure |  |
| Description | Octyldodecanol is a common ingredient found in many cosmetic and personal care products. It is a clear, colorless, and odorless liquid that is derived from vegetable oils, such as coconut oil or palm oil. It is classified as a fatty alcohol, and it has a long carbon chain with 8 carbon atoms (hence the name 'octyl') and has an ester-like function. Octyldodecanol functions as a solubilizer, emollient, and thickener in cosmetic formulations. It helps to dissolve other ingredients and make them easier to mix together, and it also helps to improve the texture, spreadability, and shelf life of products. It is often used in lipsticks, lip balms, foundations, and other makeup products to give them a smooth, creamy texture and to prevent them from drying out. Octyldodecanol is also used in skincare products, where it can help to hydrate and soften the skin. It has a low comedogenicity, meaning it is less likely to clog pores or cause acne. |
