OctyldodecanolBarrier
A fatty-alcohol emollient that softens skin, gives a cushiony glide, and helps dissolve other ingredients.
What it does
Octyldodecanol is a large fatty alcohol used as an emollient — it conditions and softens, and improves how a product spreads. It also acts as a solvent for some pigments and actives. It is a feel-and-texture ingredient rather than a treatment active and is well tolerated.
