  • Applications

    Dodecyl isononanoate (CAS 84878-32-0) is a versatile ester commonly used as an emollient and solvent in cosmetics and personal care, providing slip and conditioning in creams, lotions, and lip products. It also serves as a carrier for fragrance oils in perfumery formulations and as a fragrance solvent to help dissolve and distribute aroma compounds. In household products, it acts as a texture enhancer and solvent for formulations such as cleaners and detergents, improving spreadability and reducing greasiness. In pharmaceutical topical products, it may function as an emollient and excipient to aid skin feel and facilitate ingredient incorporation. Subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
