  • Applications

    Hexyldecyl Palmitate (CAS 69275-02-1) is a long-chain fatty ester commonly used as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent in cosmetics and personal care, providing slip and a light, non-greasy feel. It also serves as a lipophilic solvent/vehicle for fragrance oils and other cosmetic actives, aiding solubility and formulation stability. In industrial contexts it can function as a lubricant and processing aid in coatings, inks and polymer formulations, and may act as a plasticizer or slip agent in certain plastics and elastomeric materials. It is commonly considered for use in skin and hair care products and other emulsion-based formulations where a fatty ester emollient is desired.
