  • Applications

    Cyclohexyl laurate (CAS 6301-70-8) is typically employed as an emollient and fragrance carrier in cosmetics and personal care, and as a solvent/carrier for fragrance ingredients and actives in perfumery and skin-care formulations; it is also used in household and laundry products as a solvent and oily carrier for lipid-like ingredients; in adhesives and cleaning formulations, it can act as a processing aid or solvent depending on the formulation; in coatings and inks, it can serve as a solvent or carrier where compatible.
