Description

Behenyl Oleate is a high-purity, long-chain fatty acid ester derived from behenyl alcohol and oleic acid. This compound is valued for its exceptional emollient properties, providing a smooth, non-greasy feel and excellent skin compatibility. It serves as a key functional ingredient for formulators in the personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries seeking superior texture and stability.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a premium emollient and skin-conditioning agent in creams, lotions, lipsticks, and sun care products.
• Hair Care Products: Used in conditioners, serums, and styling products to impart shine, reduce frizz, and improve combability.
• Pharmaceutical Topicals: Serves as a non-irritating base or emollient in ointments, creams, and dermatological preparations.
• Industrial Lubricants & Release Agents: Functions as a bio-based lubricant or mold release agent in specialized manufacturing processes.
• Plasticizer & Textile Auxiliary: Employed as a secondary plasticizer for polymers or as a softening agent for synthetic fibers and leather.
