Cetyl caprate

Description:
Cetyl caprate, also known as cetyl decanoate, is an ester derived from cetyl alcohol and capric acid. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a mild, fatty odor. This compound is characterized by its hydrophobic nature, making it insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and oils. Cetyl caprate is primarily used in cosmetic and personal care formulations due to its emollient properties, providing a smooth and soft feel to the skin. It acts as a skin-conditioning agent, helping to improve the texture and moisture retention of products. Additionally, cetyl caprate can serve as a thickening agent and stabilizer in emulsions. Its low toxicity and skin compatibility make it suitable for use in various formulations, including creams, lotions, and hair care products. As with many esters, it may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water, leading to the release of its constituent alcohol and acid. Overall, cetyl caprate is valued for its functional properties in enhancing the performance of cosmetic products.
