Description

Isohexadecyl Docosanoate is a high-purity synthetic ester derived from behenic acid. This compound serves as a premium emollient and skin-conditioning agent, valued for its exceptional stability and non-greasy, velvety texture. It is a critical ingredient for formulators in the personal care, cosmetics, and high-performance lubricant industries seeking superior sensory profiles and oxidative resistance.

Application

• Premium Cosmetic Formulations: Acts as a primary emollient in luxury skin creams, lotions, and sun care products for a smooth, dry-finish feel.
• Color Cosmetics: Used as a binder and texture enhancer in lipsticks, foundations, and pressed powders to improve spreadability and wear.
• Hair Care Products: Provides conditioning and shine in hair serums, leave-in treatments, and styling products without weighing hair down.
• Pharmaceutical Topicals: Employed as a base or carrier in ointments and dermatological creams for its excellent skin compatibility and stability.
• Specialty Lubricants: Functions as a synthetic base oil or additive in high-temperature and cosmetic-grade lubricants due to its thermal stability.
• Industrial Additives: Serves as a plasticizer or processing aid in polymers and coatings where low volatility and compatibility are required.
