Description

Decyl Docosanoate is a high-purity, long-chain fatty acid ester derived from behenic acid. This specialty ester is valued for its exceptional emolliency, stability, and non-greasy skin feel, making it a superior ingredient for high-performance formulations. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries seeking to enhance product texture and sensory profile.

Application

• Premium Cosmetic Emollient: Used as a key ingredient in high-end skin creams, lotions, and sunscreens for its smooth, dry, and luxurious after-feel.
• Lipstick & Makeup Formulations: Acts as a structuring agent and pigment dispersant in lipsticks, foundations, and color cosmetics, improving spreadability and wear.
• Hair Care Products: Incorporated into conditioners, serums, and styling products to impart shine, reduce frizz, and provide lightweight conditioning without buildup.
• Pharmaceutical Topicals: Serves as a non-irritating base or emollient in ointments, creams, and dermatological preparations.
• Industrial Lubricants & Release Agents: Functions as a high-performance lubricant or mold release agent in specialized plastic and rubber processing.
• Chemical Intermediate: Utilized in the synthesis of more complex esters and surfactants for specialized applications.
