  • Applications

    Cholesteryl laurate is a cholesterol laurate ester commonly used in cosmetics and personal care as an emollient and rheology modifier, helping to improve skin feel and the stability of emulsions in creams and oils; it may also function as a lipid-like stabilizing ingredient in formulations and contribute to conditioning in skin and hair care products. In perfumery/fragrance applications, it may be used as a carrier or fixative for fragrance oils; in household products and cleaners, it may appear as a conditioning and stabilizing component in moisturizing creams and cleaners. In pharmaceuticals, it may serve as an inert excipient or topical vehicle in dermatological products. In polymers/plastics and coatings/inks, it can act as a wax-like additive to adjust rheology, gloss, and surface feel. Use is formulation-dependent and subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
