Octyl thioglycolate

Description:
Octyl thioglycolate, with the CAS number 7664-80-4, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of thioglycolates. It is characterized by its long hydrophobic octyl chain, which contributes to its surfactant properties. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. Octyl thioglycolate is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. It is primarily used in cosmetic formulations, particularly in hair care products, as a reducing agent and hair straightening agent. The presence of the thiol group (-SH) in its structure allows it to interact with keratin in hair, facilitating the alteration of hair structure. Additionally, it may exhibit mild skin irritation potential, necessitating careful formulation and usage in cosmetic applications. As with many thiol-containing compounds, it is important to handle octyl thioglycolate with appropriate safety measures to avoid exposure risks.
