About N-Butyl Alcohol

N-Butyl Alcohol is an aliphatic alcohol.[1] Because it is an alcohol with four carbon atoms arranged in a straight chain and a hydroxyl group at the end, its boiling point, evaporation rate, and way of dissolving other ingredients differ from those of branched t-butyl alcohol. In cosmetics, it is used to alter the taste or odor of an ingredient so it is difficult to ingest, add fragrance to products or adjust the characteristic odor of raw materials, and dissolve other ingredients to create a uniform formula.[2]
