  • Applications

    (3-Hydroxy-2-icosanoyloxypropyl) icosanoate (CAS 89648-24-8) is a long-chain fatty ester commonly used as an emollient and texture-enhancing ingredient in cosmetics and personal care products, contributing slip and a smoothing feel in creams, lotions, and balms; it can also serve as a fragrance carrier or base oil in perfumery, and as a wax-like additive in coatings, inks, and polishing formulations; in industrial contexts, it may function as a plasticizer or processing aid for polymers and plastics, and may be evaluated as a lubricating or slip additive for household and cleaning formulations.
