Butylene Glycol Cocoate

Butylene Glycol Cocoate (CAS 73138-39-3) is an ester derived from coconut fatty acids and 1,3-butanediol, functioning as an emollient, emulsifier, and wetting agent across personal care and industrial formulations.

Its coconut-derived fatty acid profile positions it as a mild, skin-compatible ingredient with broad formulation compatibility. In skincare and hair care products, it conditions the skin and hair surface while supporting emulsion stability.

This versatile ester is frequently utilized in lotions, creams, and serums to enhance texture. Home care and industrial cleaning formulations use it to improve substrate wetting and aid in dispersing actives across surfaces.

Textile processors apply it as a softening and wetting agent during fiber treatment and finishing operations. In leather processing, it supports surface conditioning and lubricant formulations where controlled moisture retention is required.

The chemical is typically supplied as a clear to pale yellow liquid. It is available in cosmetic-grade and technical-grade specifications to meet the requirements of personal care manufacturers and industrial users respectively.

Standard packaging includes drums and intermediate bulk containers, with supply volumes suited to both formulation-scale and industrial-scale procurement. This ensures reliable delivery for diverse manufacturing needs.
