Octyldodecanol

Octyldodecanol (CAS 5333-42-6 ) is a long-chain fatty alcohol used as an emollient and solvent carrier in cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations. It delivers a lightweight, non-greasy skin feel that makes it a preferred base ingredient in premium personal care products. In skincare and color cosmetics, it functions as an emollient base and spreading agent in creams, foundations, lipsticks, and sunscreens, improving texture and skin adhesion. Formulators use it as a solvent for oil-soluble actives, pigments, and UV filters. This material is highly valued where clarity and compatibility with silicones or esters are required. In pharmaceutical topical preparations, it acts as a carrier for active ingredients in ointments and dermal delivery systems. Its low viscosity and oxidative stability also make it a functional component in fragrance concentrates and perfume oil dilutions. This versatility ensures its use across a wide range of high-performance industrial applications. The product is supplied as a clear, liquid alcohol suitable for direct incorporation into formulations without further processing. It is available in cosmetic-grade and pharmaceutical-grade specifications for global distribution. The pharmaceutical-grade material meets USP or Ph.Eur. standards depending on specific supplier qualification and regional requirements. This ensures the highest level of purity for sensitive medical applications. Bulk supply is standard in drums and IBCs, with documentation packages supporting both cosmetic and pharma regulatory submissions. This logistical support facilitates seamless integration into large-scale manufacturing processes. Contact us for supply of Octyldodecanol Request Quote
