About Butyloctanol

Butyloctanol is an alcohol.[1] The moisturized feel and spreadability of a finished product containing butyloctanol may vary depending on the concentration used and the combination of moisturizing and emollient ingredients used with it. In cosmetics, it is used to attract moisture to the formula and skin surface and help maintain hydration, and to dissolve other ingredients to create a uniform formula.[2]
