Application Areas

Application areas	Application Notes
Cosmetics manufacturing	Docdohydrin is primarily used as a solid emollient to moisturize and smooth the skin. It also possesses excellent viscosity stability and can form a film on hair, providing a volume-enhancing effect. In cosmetics, docdohydrin acts as a moisturizer, solubilizer, and pigment dispersant, while also functioning as a viscosity modifier.
pharmaceutical industry	Dodecyl alcohol and its cream are novel antiviral drugs, primarily used to treat recurrent oral and facial herpes simplex. Its therapeutic effect is superior to currently used nucleoside antiviral drugs, with fewer toxic side effects.
