  • Applications

    Cetyl Oleate (CAS 22393-86-8) is widely used in cosmetics and personal care as an emollient and conditioning agent, providing slip and a smooth feel on the skin, and it also serves as a thickener/texture enhancer component for creams and lotions; in household products and cleaners it is commonly added as a conditioning additive to improve the feel and usability; in polymer and coating formulations it can function as a plasticizer or processing aid to enhance processability; in fragrance/perfumery it may be used as a carrier for fragrance oils or as a component within fragrance systems.
