O.D.A. White Octadecenedioic Acid as a functional sebum-regulating ingredient for modern formulation systems

O.D.A. White (INCI: Octadecenedioic Acid) is a specialized functional ingredient based on dioic acid chemistry, designed for use in formulation systems targeting sebum balance and improved visual skin tone uniformity. It is also referred to as octadecenedioic acid, dioic acid active and sebum balancing ingredient. This component is not a structural additive but a targeted active used in performance-driven formulations.

In B2B development it is valued for its predictable behavior and compatibility. It integrates into emulsions, gels and serums without requiring major formulation changes, making it suitable for scalable production and contract manufacturing.

Properties and functional role

Acts as an active influencing sebum-related processes and tone uniformity. It does not change formulation structure but contributes to functional performance.

Compatible with emulsions, glycols and actives. Added during cooling phase.

Properties and result

Improves visual skin tone and reduces shine. Maintains formulation stability.

Does not affect color or odor.

Purpose

Used in creams, serums and gels for oily and combination skin. Suitable for multi-active systems.

Application

Suitable for emulsions and water-based systems. Added below 40°C.
