About Octadecane

Octadecane is a saturated, straight-chain hydrocarbon.[1] In cosmetics, it is used to reduce friction on the skin or hair and add a smooth feel, to add fragrance to a product or adjust the characteristic odor of raw materials, and to leave the skin surface feeling soft and smooth.[2] It is also used to dissolve other raw materials and create a uniform formulation.[2]
