Behenyl benzoate

Behenyl benzoate (CAS 103403-38-9), also known as docosyl benzoate, is a long-chain ester used primarily in personal care and cosmetic formulations. It functions as an emollient carrier, plasticizer, and texture modifier, contributing to the sensory and structural performance of finished products.

In skin and body care formulations, it acts as a lightweight emollient that improves spreadability and skin feel without a heavy or greasy residue. Color cosmetics manufacturers use it as a dispersing medium for pigments and actives.

This ingredient helps achieve uniform distribution in foundations, lipsticks, and pressed powders. It also functions as a plasticizer in lip and stick-format products, where it adjusts hardness and flexibility of the wax matrix.

In hair care applications, it serves as a carrier for conditioning agents in serums and leave-on treatments. This versatility makes it a staple for formulators looking to enhance the application profile of diverse beauty products.

Behenyl benzoate is typically supplied as a liquid or low-melting solid, depending on temperature conditions during handling and storage. It is available in cosmetic-grade specification suitable for use in personal care product formulations.
