Cosmetic Grade Cetyl Ethylhexanoate CAS 59130-69-7
Products Description
- Cetyl Ethylhexanoate is an ester compound commonly used in cosmetics and personal care products. It is made by the reaction of Cetyl Alcohol and Ethylhexanoic Acid.
- Cetyl Ethylhexanoate has excellent solubility in oil substances. For example, it can dissolve easily in vegetable oils (such as olive oil, almond oil) and mineral oils. Meanwhile, it also shows good solubility in organic solvents (such as ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, etc.). However, its solubility in water is extremely low, and this characteristic makes it mainly used in formulations of oil-phase systems.
- Cetyl Ethylhexanoate is a versatile skin conditioner and emulsifier with good lubricity and substantivity. Its wide application in personal care and cosmetics makes it one of the most important ingredients in modern skin care and cleansing formulations. Cetyl Ethylhexanoate is often used in high-end skin care and beauty products due to its good skin feel and stability.
Function
- Skin Conditioning Agent: Cetyl Ethylhexanoate has good skin affinity and can improve the product’s spreadability and usage experience, providing a smooth and moisturizing feel.
- Emulsifier: As an emulsifier, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate can help oil and water mix to form a stable emulsion and is commonly used in skin creams, lotions and cosmetics.
- Thickener: In certain formulations, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate can also act as a thickener to improve the texture of the product.
- Solvent: In some cases, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate can act as a solvent to help dissolve and disperse other ingredients.
Application
- Cosmetics Industry
- In skin care products, such as emulsions, creams, serums, etc., Cetyl Ethylhexanoate is widely used as an emollient ingredient. It can work synergistically with other moisturizing ingredients (such as hyaluronic acid, glycerol, etc.) to enhance the moisturizing effect of the product. In some lightweight emulsions, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate can make the product texture lighter and smoother when applied, improving the user's experience.
- In cosmetic products, such as lipsticks, eye shadows, foundations, etc., Cetyl Ethylhexanoate can be used as a solvent and dispersant. As a solvent, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate can dissolve oil-soluble ingredients in cosmetic products, such as pigments and fragrances; as a dispersant, it can ensure the even distribution of pigments, making the cosmetic colors more vivid and uniform and improving the product's stability.
- Personal Care Products Industry
- In products like body washes and shampoos, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate can be added as a moisturizing ingredient. While cleaning the skin and hair, it provides a certain amount of moisture for them, preventing the skin from drying out and the hair from becoming frizzy. In some high-end body washes, when combined with other natural oil ingredients, it can create a moisturizing yet non-greasy bathing experience.
- Pharmaceutical Industry (External Preparations)
- In some external drug preparations such as ointments and creams, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate can be used as a matrix ingredient. It helps the drug to disperse evenly and provides a certain emollient effect, alleviates the irritation of the drug on the skin, and also facilitates the attachment and absorption of the drug on the skin surface.
