Ethyl stearate

Description:
Ethyl stearate, with the CAS number 111-61-5, is an ester derived from stearic acid and ethanol. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic fatty odor. Ethyl stearate is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, ether, and chloroform. This compound has a relatively high boiling point and low volatility, making it stable under standard conditions. It is commonly used in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries as an emollient, surfactant, and solvent. Additionally, ethyl stearate can serve as a lubricant and is utilized in the formulation of various products, including creams and lotions. Its fatty acid composition contributes to its properties, making it effective in enhancing skin feel and texture. Ethyl stearate is generally regarded as safe for use in food and cosmetic applications, although it is important to handle it with care, as with all chemical substances, to avoid potential irritation or adverse reactions.
