  • Applications

    Butyloctyl Salicylate (CAS 190085-41-7) is a light, non-volatile emollient widely used in cosmetics and related industries as a solvent and texture-enhancing agent; in cosmetic and personal care formulations it provides skin conditioning, improves spread and sensory feel in lotions, creams, serums and makeup, and it also serves as a carrier for active ingredients and fragrances. In perfumery formulations it acts as a solvent and carrier for fragrance oils and aroma compounds, helping solubilize ingredients that are poorly soluble in water. In hair care products it functions as an emollient and conditioning component, contributing slip and manageability in shampoos and conditioners. In industrial manufacturing it may be evaluated as a plasticizer or processing aid for certain polymers and coatings, improving flexibility and workability of formulations. In cleaning and household products it can serve as a solvent/vehicle for fragrance oils and limited actives, aiding formulation stability and texture.
