  • Applications

    Cholesteryl nonanoate (CAS 1182-66-7) is a cholesterol fatty acid ester used primarily as an emollient and thickener in cosmetics and personal care, providing slip, gloss, and texture in creams, lotions, and solid lip products. In perfumery, it may function as a fragrance fixative or a waxy carrier to help release scent slowly. In coatings, inks, and plastics, it is employed as a wax additive to modify texture and processing, and as a conditioning/texture-modifying component in polymer blends. In household care products and polishes, it serves as a waxy film-forming agent that contributes to slip, gloss and improved rheology. Depending on local regulations and formulation limits, cholesteryl nonanoate is used as a wax-based additive across industrial manufacturing and consumer product applications.
