  • Applications

    Cetyl acetyl ricinoleate, CAS 111129-38-5, is a waxy ester used primarily in cosmetics and personal care as an emollient and texture enhancer, contributing slip and conditioning in creams, lotions and hair care products. It is also used as a fragrance oil carrier and to help modulate viscosity in formulations. In household products, it can function as a softening additive in cleansers and moisturizers to improve feel and spread. In industrial manufacturing and coatings, it acts as a wax-like plasticizer/processing aid, imparting gloss, slip and easier processing for wax- or resin-based systems; in polymers and plastics, it can serve as a softener or lubricant within formulation limits and regulatory compliance.
