Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/17/2017 -- Oxo-octyl acetate is a colorless, clear, and oily liquid used in cosmetic products such as sunscreen and skin creams. Oxo-octyl acetate is produced by the reaction between ethylene oxide and phenol at elevated pressure and temperature. It has intermediate water solubility and exhibits moderate evaporation rate. Oxo-octyl acetate is a used as a solvent in pesticides. It is also used simultaneously with ammonium compounds as substitute for sodium azide due to its less toxic properties.

Additionally, oxo-octyl acetate is non-reactive with lead and copper. It is used in numerous applications such as vaccines, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical products as preservative. Oxo-octyl acetate is necessary to enhance the shelf life of cosmetics and personal care products. It can also be used as an alternative to potentially harmful formaldehyde-releasing preservatives.
