  • Applications

    Campesteryl Ferulate (CAS 20972-07-0) is a lipophilic plant sterol ester used as a multifunctional additive in formulations. In cosmetics and personal care, it can act as an emollient and conditioning agent, contributing to slickness and texture, while the ferulate moiety provides antioxidant potential that may help stabilize formulations. In polymers and plastics, it may serve as a bio-based additive with antioxidant and stabilizing functions, and its waxy character can act as a rheology modifier or processing aid. For coatings and inks, it can function as a processing aid and gloss modifier, with potential antioxidant benefits. In household products, it can be included as an emollient or stabilizing additive in formulations such as cleaners and detergents. It may also be explored as an intermediate or formulation component in pharmaceutical or nutraceutical development, subject to regulatory constraints.
