  • Applications

    Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate (CAS 59130-69-7) is a versatile, non-volatile ester widely used in cosmetics and personal care as a lightweight emollient and slip agent, helping give creams, lotions, and serums a smooth, non-greasy feel while also serving as a carrier or solvent for active ingredients and fragrance materials. In perfumery, it functions as a fragrance solvent and carrier, aiding compatibility and controlled release within complex formulations. It is also used in household products as an oil-based solvent and texture modifier to improve spreadability and conditioning in cleaners and surface care products. In industrial manufacturing, it may act as a processing aid or solvent for coatings, inks, and adhesives, helping with formulation handling and substrate compatibility. In hair care and color cosmetics, it contributes glide and conditioning without a heavy residue, making it a common component in serums, conditioners, foundations, and lip products.
