  • Applications

    1-Decanoylglycerol (CAS 2277-23-8) is commonly used as an emollient and mild solvent in cosmetics and personal care, providing slip and aiding the dispersion of oil- and fragrance-containing ingredients in creams, oils, and skin-care products. It is also regarded as a mild emulsifier and a carrier for fragrances and essential oil components in formulations. In pharmaceutical and plastics/industrial applications, it often serves as an additive, used as a plasticizer or processing aid to adjust softness and handling properties of coatings and polymers. In coatings, inks, and cleaning formulations, it can function as a lubricating component and a vehicle in emulsions to improve rheology and spread. As an intermediate, it is used to synthesize other esters and tailor formulation properties, subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
