Products Description
1,2-Octanediol is a diol with the chemical formula C8H18O2. It is a colorless, viscous liquid with a slightly sweet taste and odor. 1,2-Octanediol has a variety of uses in cosmetics, personal care products, and other industrial applications.
1,2-Octanediol has broad-spectrum antibacterial activity and can have good bactericidal and antibacterial effects. When combined with traditional preservatives and non additive preservatives, it can have a significant synergistic effect. As a moisturizer and skin conditioner, it has moisturizing effects while also preventing corrosion.
Caprylyl Glycol (1,2-Octanediol) is an alcohol (diol contains two hydroxy groups on 1 and 2 positions) colorless liquid or semi-solid derived from raw natural materials, widely used in skin care applications for its humectant, antiseptic, antiparasitic, antioxidant, and emollient properties. Thanks to its heat stability (do not decay) and wide working pH range, it is a popular ingredient for both leave-on and rinse-off personal care products.
Thanks to its anti-parasitic property (dehydrates insect's cuticle) and safety, Caprylyl glycol is a perfect ingredient for treating children's head louse while conditioning hair and scalp. In addition, 1,2-Octanediol is a potent penetration enhancer that helps other formula components reach deeper layers of the skin.
It suppresses the growth of bacteria, molds, and yeasts. Still, primarily Caprylyl glycol is used as a preservative booster in combination with other preservatives, helping to prolong the product's shelf-life. In addition, its viscosity allows control of the rheological properties of the formulation.
