Release to the environment of this substance can occur from industrial use: manufacturing of the substance, formulation of mixtures and formulation in materials. Octyldodecanol is a branched-chain primary alcohol used as the isomer 2-octyl-1-dodecanol in cosmetics such as lipstick as an anti-blooming agent, facepowder. It is a medium spreading emollient, with equilibrium spreading pressure of 17.0 dyne/cm.

Octyldodecanol is in the class of Guerbet alcohols, because it has the branch at the β position. Compared to arachidyl alcohol, the linear alcohol of the same molecular weight, it has a lower melting point, yet retains low volatility. 2-Octyldodecanol is produced by the Guerbet condensation of decyl alcohol. When octyldodecanol is melted with an alkali it yields octyldodecanoic acid by a dehydrogenation reaction. Melting point:−1-1 °C(lit.)

Boiling point:234-238 °C/33 mmHg(lit.)

Density 0.838 g/mL at 25 °C(lit.)

refractive index n20/D 1.453(lit.)

Flash point:113 °C

solubility Practically insoluble in water, miscible with ethanol (96 per cent).

Octyldodecanol is in the class of Guerbet alcohols, because it has the branch at the β position. Compared to arachidyl alcohol, the linear alcohol of the same molecular weight, it has a lower melting point, yet retains low volatility.

Octyldodecanol may be used as a pharmaceutical reference standard for the determination of the analyte in pharmaceutical formulations by chromatography and spectrophotometric techniques. Oleyl Alcohol and Octyldodecanol are long chain fatty alcohols. Stearyl Alcohol is a white, waxy solid with a faint odor, while Oleyl Alcohol and Octyldodecanol are clear, colorless liquids. These three ingredients are found in a wide variety of products such as hair conditioners, foundations, eye makeup, skin moisturizers, skin cleansers and other skin care products.

Stearyl Alcohol, Oleyl Alcohol and Octyldodecanol help to form emulsions and prevent an emulsion from separating into its oil and liquid components. These ingredients also reduce the tendency of finished products to generate foam when shaken. When used in the formulation of skin care products, Stearyl Alcohol, Oleyl Alcohol and Octyldodecanol act as a lubricants on the skin surface, which gives the skin a soft, smooth appearance. Octyldodecanol is a clear, odorless fatty alcohol produced from natural fats and oils. It is stable to hydrolysis and can be used over a wide pH range. It provides the skin with a soft and smooth appearance. It is an ideal solvent to dissolve salicylic acid. It is used in all kinds of skin care, sun care, perfumes and color cosmetics products.

OCTYLDODECANOL is classified as : Emollient, Solvent

Perfuming Octyldodecanol is a long-chain fatty alcohol used in a wide variety of beauty products as an emollient and emulsifier, but also rarely as a solvent and fragrance ingredient as well. It is a clear, colorless liquid that is often seen as a thickener in moisturizers because of its lubricating and emollient properties. It is a clear, colorless liquid that is often seen as a thickener in moisturizers because of its lubricating and emollient properties.

It can also reduce the tendency of finished products to generate foam when shaken. Octyldodecanol acts as a lubricant on the skin, giving a soft, silky feel as an ingredient in lotion. However, both were results were found when tested on rabbits. A 2006 study found that it enhanced the irritation of other ingredients. Moisturizes skin & hair, stabilizes lotions & creams. Solvent for perfume ingredients, also salicylic acid.

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.It is produced from natural fats (non-animal) and oils by reduction of the fatty acid grouping to the hydroxyl function. It can be used in almost any cosmetic product, from lip balm to skin lotions, facial cleansers and color cosmetics, silicone alternative.

Stable to hydrolysis and can be used over a wide pH range. Medium spreading qualities. Moisturizes skin & hair stabilizes lotions & creams. The solvent for perfume ingredients, also salicylic acid. Clear liquid, odorless. Water-insoluble, miscible in alcohol, soluble in paraffin oil.
