Description

Oleyl Oleate is a high-purity, unsaturated fatty acid ester derived from oleyl alcohol and oleic acid. This compound serves as an exceptional non-greasy emollient and lubricant, prized for its excellent skin feel and oxidative stability. It is a critical ingredient for formulators in the personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries seeking superior texture and performance in their products.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a premium emollient and skin-conditioning agent in creams, lotions, sunscreens, and makeup products, providing a smooth, silky after-feel without greasiness.
• Pharmaceutical Topicals: Used as a base or carrier oil in ointments, gels, and transdermal delivery systems due to its excellent skin compatibility and spreading properties.
• Industrial Lubricants & Release Agents: Functions as a biodegradable lubricant and mold release agent in plastic, rubber, and metalworking applications.
• Textile Processing: Employed as a softening agent and lubricant for fibers and yarns to improve processability and final hand feel.
• Plasticizer & Polymer Additive: Enhances the flexibility and processability of various polymers and resins.
