About

On an ingredient list it is written as Octyldodecanol. It is fatty alcohol (Guerbet alcohol).

In the Formula

It is an emollient. It carries pigment, softens the feel of the film, and keeps the formula from sitting dry on the skin. Formally it is classed as branched fatty-alcohol emollient / solvent.

The Evidence

It is a listed cosmetic ingredient with an established function in the EU CosIng inventory. We hold no finished product study on it and do not imply one. We cite what the ingredient is assessed for, not what a finished product was claimed to do.

Honest Limits

Octyldodecanol does its job inside the formula. It is not an active, and nothing on this page should be read as a treatment claim.
