  • Applications

    Dibenzylidenesorbitol (CAS 32647-67-9) is commonly used as a gelator and thickening agent for oils and waxy formulations. In cosmetics and personal care, it forms clear oleogels and gels to structure products such as hair styling gels, skincare gels, and translucent gel formulations. In fragrance and perfumery, it provides a gel matrix for fragrance oils, enabling stable, slow-release matrices. In polymers, coatings and inks, it acts as an organogelator to control viscosity and texture in oil-based systems. In household cleaning and industrial formulations, it can function as a thickener in gel cleaners and as a structuring additive in lubricants or other oil-based formulations. Usage is formulation-dependent and subject to local regulations.
