Product name: 1,2-Octanediol
CAS No.: 1117-86-8
Molecular formula: C8H18O2
Applications:
1. Broad-spectrum antimicrobial / preservative boosting (core function)
Longest-chain personal-care vicinal diol with stronger antimicrobial performance than 1,2-hexanediol and 1,2-pentanediol; disrupts bacterial/fungal membranes and inhibits E. coli, S. aureus, C. albicans and A. niger.
• Alone or in blends enables paraben-free / traditional-preservative-reduced clean formulas
• Combined with phenoxyethanol can cut phenoxyethanol dose by about 30% and lower irritation
• Suitable for masks, serums, creams, sunscreens, baby wash-care and periocular care
2. Fresh humectant/emollient: light non-sticky feel unlike heavier PG; softens keratin and improves dryness — preferred for oily-skin and sunscreen systems
3. Active cosolvent: dissolves lipophilic whitening/anti-aging actives, UV filters and essential oils; improves pigment dispersion in foundations and lip products
4. Niche industrial/pharma uses: topical ointment antimicrobial carrier; surfactant/organic intermediate; specialty high-boiling ink solvent
