Information
Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate is an emollient ester used in skincare products to improve texture and provide a smooth, non-greasy feel. It is a combination of cetearyl alcohol, a fatty alcohol, and ethylhexanoic acid, a fatty acid. This ingredient is primarily used to enhance the sensory attributes of skincare formulations, making them easier to apply and more pleasant to use.
Where does it come from?
Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate is created by combining naturally derived fatty alcohols with fatty acids, typically derived from plant oils such as coconut oil. The resulting ester is stable, non-comedogenic, and well-tolerated by most skin types.
Silky Texture: Provides a light, silky texture that improves the spreadability of skincare products, making them glide smoothly over the skin.
Non-Greasy Feel: Absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving a greasy or heavy residue, making it ideal for use in lightweight formulations.
Moisturizing: Acts as an emollient, helping to soften and smooth the skin by locking in moisture and preventing dryness.
Enhances Product Stability: Helps to stabilize emulsions, ensuring that the ingredients in a product remain evenly distributed and effective over time.
Non-Comedogenic: Suitable for use in products for all skin types, including oily and acne-prone skin, as it does not clog pores.
How is it used in our products?
Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate is used, for example, in F10 Olive Core Face Peeling and B15 Anti Aging Body Cream from OLIVEDA. It is included for its ability to keep the skin soft and hydrated without contributing to oiliness and provide a luxurious, silky feel that enhances the overall user experience.
