2-Octyldodecan-1-ol CAS No. 5333-42-6 Pharmaceutical Excipient
02
introduce
2-Octyldodecan-1-ol exhibits excellent oxidation resistance stability due to its saturated structure, maintaining outstanding stability at low and high temperatures, as well as under moderate acid-base conditions. This alcohol demonstrates superior solubility for lipid-soluble active ingredients such as salicylic acid and organic UV filters, showing good compatibility. Additionally, it aids in the dispersion and wetting of color pigments, making it suitable for use in color cosmetics and sunscreen formulations.
It not only possesses high polarity and moderate spreading properties but also imparts a smooth, non-greasy skin feel to skin care and lip care products. As an emulsifier in cosmetic formulations, its well-documented transdermal penetration-enhancing function is particularly notable. When combined with highly volatile denatured ethanol and potentially volatile low-viscosity polydimethylsiloxane, serums massaged in circular motions on the back of the hand can deliver a noticeable and comfortable "absorption sensation".

Strong Adaptability for External Use
It has good lubricating and emollient properties, suitable for external preparations and cosmetics, without obvious irritation. Compared with external raw materials with strong irritation, it is milder and safer to use.
Widely Applicable
It covers many fields such as medicine, cosmetics, chemical industry and materials, and can be used as emulsifier, diluent, intermediate, etc. Compared with raw materials with a single purpose, it is more practical.
Diverse Functions
It can be used as solvent, penetration enhancer, and assist extraction and synthesis, etc. Compared with raw materials with a single function, it adapts to more production and experimental needs.
Convenient Storage
It has loose storage conditions, only needs to be stored in a sealed, cool and dry place away from light, and has a long shelf life (can be stored for 2 years unopened, moisture-proof and below 30℃).
Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Field
Widely used as emulsifier and opacifier, it is suitable for external preparations (such as dermal drug delivery preparations) by virtue of its lubricating and emollient properties; it can be used as part of the external drug carrier to assist drugs with poor skin penetration to be better absorbed by the skin; it can also be used as a solvent for dissolving external drugs such as naproxen to improve the external effect of drugs.

Chemical Industry Field
Used as a diluent to assist in extracting substances such as putrescine and cadaverine from fermentation broths by liquid-liquid extraction; at the same time, it is used as an organic synthesis intermediate to provide basic support for the synthesis of medicines, organic compounds and materials.
Materials and Experimental Field
Used as an emulsion stabilizer for polymer matrix patches to maintain the stability of the patch system; it can also be used to investigate its interaction with resorcin[4]arene hexameric capsules, assisting the development of related materials and experimental research.
