  • Applications

    Octylcinnamate is used in cosmetics and personal care as a UV-absorbing cinnamate ester, helping to attenuate UV exposure in sunscreen and moisturizers. It also serves as a fragrance ingredient and can function as a fixative in perfumery. In coatings, inks, and plastics, it can act as a UV stabilizer or processing additive to help protect pigments and substrates from UV degradation. It may be used as a solvent or carrier for fragrance oils in formulations and can be an intermediate in fragrance synthesis. In household cleaning products, it may appear as a fragrance component.
