Cetyl behenate

Description:
Cetyl behenate, with the CAS number 42233-11-4, is a long-chain fatty acid ester derived from cetyl alcohol and behenic acid. It is a white, waxy solid at room temperature and is known for its emollient and emulsifying properties, making it a popular ingredient in cosmetic and personal care formulations. Cetyl behenate is often used as a thickening agent, stabilizer, and texture enhancer in creams, lotions, and ointments. Its hydrophobic nature allows it to form a barrier on the skin, helping to retain moisture and improve the overall feel of products. Additionally, it has a high melting point, which contributes to the stability of formulations at elevated temperatures. Cetyl behenate is generally considered safe for use in cosmetics and is well-tolerated by most skin types. Its biodegradability and low toxicity further enhance its appeal in sustainable product formulations. Overall, cetyl behenate serves multiple functional roles in various applications, particularly in the beauty and personal care industry.
