Description

Isobutyl Docosanoate is a high-purity, long-chain fatty acid ester derived from behenic acid. This specialty chemical serves as an exceptional emollient and skin-conditioning agent, prized for its non-greasy feel and excellent stability. It is a critical ingredient for formulators in the personal care and cosmetics industry seeking to enhance product texture and performance. Its unique properties also make it valuable as a lubricant and plasticizer in select industrial applications.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a premium emollient and skin-conditioning agent in creams, lotions, lipsticks, and sunscreens, providing a smooth, velvety after-feel.
• Hair Care Products: Used in conditioners, serums, and styling products to impart shine, reduce frizz, and improve combability.
• Pharmaceutical Topicals: Serves as a base or carrier in ointments and dermatological creams, offering excellent skin spreadability and compatibility.
• Industrial Lubricants & Release Agents: Functions as a synthetic lubricant component and mold release agent in plastics and rubber processing.
• Plasticizer for Polymers: Imparts flexibility and low-temperature performance to specific polymer systems, including PVC and synthetic rubbers.
• Textile & Fiber Treatment: Used as a softening and lubricating agent for synthetic fibers and fabrics.
