Cosphaderm® Octiol natural is a pure, colourless diol obtained from natural sources and is commonly used as a moisturiser and humectant in skin care and hair care formulations. Its multifunctional profile is complemented by its ability to contribute to the stabilisation of O/W emulsions, as demonstrated by static light scattering experiments showing effective droplet size reduction.
A core property of caprylyl glycol is its strong, pH-independent antimicrobial activity. When used in combination with other antimicrobial ingredients, Cosphaderm® Octiol natural exhibits notable synergistic effects, making it possible to minimise the total amount of preservatives required.
