About

Propyl Octanoate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Propyl octanoate is a fatty acid ester (C8) used as a skin-conditioning emollient in cosmetic formulations. It is not listed in EU Annex II or III of Regulation EC 1223/2009 and presents no significant toxicity at typical use concentrations. Its low molecular weight allows it to act as a lightweight emollient without contributing to systemic exposure concerns.
