Octyldodecanol is a substance used in cosmetic substances. The alcohol acts as an emollient (makes the skin supple and smooth) and as a solvent (dissolves other substances). Furthermore, the substance has a masking effect (reduces or inhibits an undesirable intrinsic smell or taste of the product) and a perfuming effect (improves the smell of a product and/or perfumes the skin).
