Novol™ is a versatile emollient that serves as a coupling agent, superfatting agent, suspending agent, solvent, perfume fixative, and anti-tack agent in personal care formulations. It aids in the solubility of aqueous alcohol solutions, facilitates emulsification, and enhances the spreadability and penetration of other ingredients. Novol™ is derived from high-grade oleyl alcohol through a high vacuum fractionation process, resulting in a product with low color and odor.
