  • Applications

    Cetyl Ricinoleate (CAS 10401-55-5) is a fatty ester commonly used in cosmetics and personal care as an emollient and conditioning agent, improving the feel of skin and hair. In formulations, it is often used as a texture enhancer and thickener in creams and lotions, as a lubricating agent in lip care products, and as a carrier for fragrances or active ingredients in topical systems; it may also function as a plasticizer or processing aid in certain polymer or wax systems used in cosmetics packaging or household products.
