What is CETEARYL ISONONANOATE used for?

Cetearyl Isononanoate is a widely used ingredient in the personal care and cosmetic industry. It is primarily an emollient that helps in nourishing and hydrating the skin, leaving it soft and supple. Further, it also acts as a lubricant in hair care products to improve the texture of the shafts and control frizz. Additionally, Cetearyl Isononanoate is a good emulsifier that stabilizes cosmetic formulations and provides them with a smooth and silky texture. This ingredient also forms a protective barrier on skin and hair to protect them from harmful environmental stressors.

Origin

Cetearyl Isononanoate is made by combining cetearyl alcohol, a fatty alcohol derived from natural sources such as coconut or palm oil, with isononanoic acid, a branched-chain carboxylic acid. The two components are chemically reacted to form the ester, which is then purified and used as an ingredient in cosmetic formulations.
