  • Applications

    Cholesteryl Benzoate is a lipophilic waxy ester derived from cholesterol that finds practical use in cosmetics and personal care as an emollient and thickener, helping to improve texture and skin feel in creams, lotions, and lip products; it can act as a fragrance carrier or fixative in perfumery formulations; in coatings and inks it serves as a waxy rheology modifier and film-forming component to adjust hardness and clarity; in polymer and plastics processing it may function as a wax-like additive to influence crystallinity, lubricity, and compatibility of blends; and in household products such as polishes and cleaners it can act as a waxy thickener and polishing agent. Subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
