Ethylhexyl hydroxystearate benzoate

Ethylhexyl hydroxystearate benzoate (CAS 199277-69-5) is a synthetic ester used primarily in personal care formulations as an emollient, carrier, and dispersing agent.

It combines the skin-feel benefits of a fatty acid ester with effective solvency for actives and pigments, making it a functional alternative to silicones and mineral oils in cosmetic bases.

In color cosmetics, it disperses pigments and UV filters evenly within foundations, lipsticks, and sunscreen formulations, improving payoff and texture for the end user.

Skincare formulators use it as a lightweight emollient carrier for oil-phase actives, contributing to a non-greasy skin feel in various serums and moisturizing lotions.

Its lubricity profile also supports use in industrial and specialty lubricant formulations where a synthetic ester base is required for film formation and surface protection.

In leave-on hair care products, it functions as a conditioning carrier that improves spreadability and shine without the heavy buildup associated with other ingredients.

Ethylhexyl hydroxystearate benzoate is supplied as a clear to pale yellow liquid. It is available in cosmetic-grade quality suitable for diverse personal care applications.

The material typically meets purity specifications aligned with industry formulation standards. Packaging ranges from drums to intermediate bulk containers depending on volume requirements.
