What is it?
Octyldodecanol is a long-chain fatty alcohol used in skincare as an emollient, solvent, and texture enhancer. It has a smooth, velvety feel and contributes to the spreadability and stability of formulations, making it a valuable ingredient in our cosmetic products.
Where does it come from?
It is derived from natural fatty acids found in plant oils, such as coconut oil, through a process of hydrogenation. The resulting ingredient is a highly pure, stable, and gentle alcohol suitable for our natural formulations.
