OCTYLDODECANOL

About this ingredient

Octyldodecanol is a synthetic branched-chain fatty alcohol that functions as an emollient and skin conditioning agent in cosmetic formulations. It provides a smooth, silky texture, improves product spreadability, and enhances skin feel without a greasy residue. Commonly used in sunscreens, moisturizers, and personal care products for its lightweight, non-occlusive moisturizing properties.
