Description

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

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a premium emollient and skin-conditioning agent in creams, lotions, sunscreens, and makeup products.
• Hair Care Products: Used in conditioners, serums, and styling products to impart shine, reduce frizz, and improve combability.
• Lipstick & Lip Gloss: Provides excellent spreadability, a non-greasy feel, and enhanced pigment dispersion.
• Pharmaceutical Topicals: Serves as a base or emollient in ointments, creams, and dermatological preparations.
• Industrial Lubricants & Release Agents: Functions as a synthetic lubricant component or mold release agent due to its thermal stability and low volatility.
• Plasticizer & Processing Aid: Can be used as a secondary plasticizer or processing aid in select polymer applications to improve flexibility.
