  • Applications

    Dihydrocholesteryl octyldecanoate (CAS 158567-65-8) is a lipophilic cholesterol ester primarily used in cosmetics and personal care as an emollient and conditioning agent, providing slip, a soft, non-greasy feel, and film-forming properties. It can act as a texture enhancer and carrier for fragrance components or cosmetic actives, helping to optimize formulation rheology and stability. In addition, it is sometimes employed as a wax-like thickener or lubrication aid in coatings, inks, and certain polymer formulations. Depending on regional regulations and formulation limits, it may be used in other specialty applications such as household products or surface care where lipid-like conditioning agents are desired.
