Description

Behenyl Linoleate is a high-purity, long-chain fatty acid ester derived from behenyl alcohol and linoleic acid. This compound is valued for its excellent emollient properties, oxidative stability, and ability to enhance the texture and performance of finished formulations. It serves as a key functional ingredient for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and specialty lubricants industries seeking premium, skin-compatible raw materials.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a superior non-greasy emollient and texture enhancer in creams, lotions, lipsticks, and sun care products.
• Hair Care Products: Used in conditioners, serums, and hair masks to impart shine, reduce frizz, and improve manageability.
• Skin Care Actives Carrier: Serves as an effective solvent and penetration enhancer for lipid-soluble active ingredients.
• Pharmaceutical Topicals: Employed as a base or excipient in ointments and dermatological preparations for its skin-moisturizing benefits.
• Specialty Lubricants & Release Agents: Functions as a bio-based lubricant component or mold release agent in technical applications.
• Industrial Additives: Can be utilized as a plasticizer or softening agent in polymer and resin systems.

Quality Control

Our Behenyl Linoleate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, acid value, peroxide value, and heavy metal content are provided to guarantee the material meets the stringent requirements of the cosmetic and personal care industries.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, consider maintaining under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to preserve stability and prevent rancidity. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and heat sources.
