Andrea, maybe she got it confused with oxybenzone or octocrylene? These are chemical UV filters that can cause irritations. Octyldodecanol can cause irritations, but it’s very, very rare.

She told me that OCTYLDODECANOL is a sunscreen ingredient that was hiding in my physical sunscreen and she thought that it might be causing me sensitivity that is leading to my melasma. I have searched all over and kind find anything confirming what she said. I’m confused??

There are more causes than vitamin deficiency for your symptoms, to beging with you don’t say if you wear dentures or not? Poor fitting teeth or dental problems can also cause the corners of the mouth to split. Plus I’ve read that the ingredient can cause the reaction of other irritating ingredients to be intensified. So it’s not just about how that ingredient behaves but how it interacts with others.

Greta, I’m sorry this happened to you. Unfortunately, everything could potentially cause an allergic reaction in someone. 🙁

Per the EWG website, octyldodecanol is listed as a potential irritant for products used around the eyes and on the skin. I learned this the hard way, after having a reaction to Drunk Elephant’s Shaba Complex Eye Serum, which lists octyldodecanol as the second ingredient. My allergic reaction built up over time, occurring during my second bottle of Shaba.
