  • Applications

    Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate (CAS 59130-69-7) is a widely used emollient and solvent in cosmetics and personal care, providing skin conditioning, slip, and improved spreadability in lotions, creams, and makeup formulations; in perfumery it serves as a carrier for fragrance oils, helping to dissolve and release odors in products such as body mists and fragrance-heavy formulations; it also functions as a texture-enhancing agent and slip additive in hair care and skin care products; it can act as a solvent or carrier for active ingredients in topical pharmaceutical formulations; in some polymer and coating formulations it may act as a processing aid or plasticizer to improve flexibility and handling.
