  • Applications

    Glyceryl 1-monooctanoate (CAS 502-54-5) is primarily used as an emollient and solvent in cosmetics and personal care, improving skin feel, moisture retention, and the dispersion of active ingredients. It also functions as a lubricant and plasticizer in polymers, supporting processing and flexibility of polymer systems. In coatings, inks, and adhesives, it can act as a processing aid, slip additive, and plasticizer to improve flow and film formation. In cleaning and household products, it serves as a solvent or carrier helping dissolve soils and stabilize formulations. In perfumery/fragrance, it may serve as a solvent carrier for fragrance ingredients. In pharmaceuticals, it can be used as an excipient or solvent for lipophilic actives in topical dosage forms. Subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
