Octyldodecanol is a long chain fatty alcohol. It is a medium spreading emollient which is due to its chemical structure hydrolysis stable and therefore beneficially suitable for all formulations where a wide pH range is needed e.g. deo/antiperspirant and hair remover formulations. It is an emulsifier and opacifying agent, used primarily as a thickener in moisturizers because of its lubricating and emollient properties in the formulation of skin care products. Octyldodecanol is approved by ECOCERT for Natural and Organic Cosmetics.
