Description

Docosanoic Acid, Hydroxyoctadecyl Ester is a high-purity specialty ester derived from behenic acid and a hydroxy fatty alcohol. This compound serves as a versatile and effective emollient, thickener, and consistency regulator in advanced formulations. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries for its ability to enhance product texture and stability.

Application

• As a key structuring agent and thickener in stick formulations such as deodorants, antiperspirants, and lip balms.
• As a premium emollient and skin-conditioning agent in creams, lotions, and ointments for a non-greasy, smooth feel.
• To improve thermal stability and texture in cosmetic products, providing consistent performance across temperature ranges.
• As a rheology modifier in personal care products to achieve desired viscosity and spreadability.
• In pharmaceutical topical preparations as an excipient to control drug release and enhance skin adhesion.
• As a component in hair care products like styling waxes and pomades for hold and shine without residue.
