CAS 34316-64-8

Hexyl laurate

Description:

Hexyl laurate, with the CAS number 34316-64-8, is an ester formed from hexanol and lauric acid. It is characterized by its clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid appearance and has a mild, pleasant odor. This compound is known for its low volatility and relatively high stability, making it suitable for various applications. Hexyl laurate is primarily used as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent in cosmetic formulations, providing a smooth and soft feel to the skin. Additionally, it serves as a solvent and carrier for active ingredients in personal care products. Its chemical structure contributes to its hydrophobic properties, which enhance its effectiveness in formulations designed for moisture retention. Hexyl laurate is generally considered safe for use in cosmetics, although, like many esters, it may cause irritation in sensitive individuals. Overall, its favorable characteristics make it a valuable ingredient in the cosmetic and personal care industries.
