  • Applications

    (E)-Ferulic Acid Eicosyl Ester, CAS 133882-79-8, is a lipophilic ferulic acid ester widely used in cosmetics and personal care as an emollient and conditioning agent. It is frequently evaluated as an antioxidant and formulation stabilizer in cosmetic, coating, and polymer systems to help mitigate oxidative degradation of oils, pigments, and other ingredients. In perfumery, it can act as a fragrance fixative or carrier due to its high molecular weight and low volatility. It may also function as a processing aid or plasticizer in certain polymer formulations, contributing to texture, film formation, and compatibility in coatings and inks. Additionally, it can serve as an intermediate in fragrance-related syntheses or specialty chemical applications.
