  • Applications

    Glyceryl octyl ascorbate (CAS 1120360-26-0) is primarily used in cosmetics and personal care as an oil-soluble vitamin C derivative, delivering antioxidant protection and stabilizing oil and emulsion formulations, while also functioning as a skin-conditioning emollient. It is commonly formulated in serums, creams, and lip products to enhance oxidative stability and facilitate delivery of ascorbate components. Because of its glyceryl/ascorbate moiety, the compound is also considered as an intermediate or additive in the synthesis of other ascorbate esters and may serve as an antioxidant stabilizer in polymer, coating, or ink systems, contributing to formulation durability. In some contexts, it may be evaluated for use in hair care or other personal care products as a conditioning oily ingredient, subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
