NSOAF™CE08 CETYL ETHYLHEXANOATE CAS NO. 59130-69-7
Product introduction
The INCI name of NSOAF™CE08 is CETYL ETHYLHEXANOATE.It is a colorless to light yellow transparent liquid with a clear texture, slightly oily, and a very light smell.It is also called hexadecyl isooctanoate, commonly known as seabird feather oil, is an emollient with high-efficiency waterproof and excellent performance, and has the advantages of good breathability, spreading, dispersion and moisturizing.
This ester provides formulators with a waterproof and breathable base oil.It is easy to apply, disperses pigments, and makes the skin feel moisturized rather than greasy.These properties meet the requirements of modern skin care products-lightness, softness, moisturizing, and good skin feeling. Many developers will combine it with
Isopropyl myristate to adjust the overall slip and meltaway behaviour of oil blends for facial care.
Principle of action
NSOAF™CE08 A film is formed on the skin, which is both waterproof and allows the skin to breathe freely.This layer of film can slow down the loss of moisture without enclosing the skin like a heavy closed layer.Therefore, it can be both waterproof and bring a refreshing skin feeling.
Its low viscosity makes it have good ductility.A small amount can be quickly applied to the skin or makeup primer to make the product feel smooth after application.
It can also be mixed well with pigments and oil-soluble ultraviolet filters.In lipsticks, it helps to evenly disperse pigments; in sunscreens, it helps to diffuse the active ingredients of the oil phase.It is this compatibility that allows it to be used as both a base oil and a dispersant. When building stable emulsion frameworks, formulators often pair this ester with suitable
Oil in water emulsifier to lock its sensory benefits inside continuous water phases.
Main effect
Waterproof—Adds water resistance to sunscreen and makeup without forming a heavy film
Breathable—Allows the skin to breathe freely while slowing down moisture loss
Easy to apply—low viscosity, allowing cream and makeup to be applied quickly and evenly
Dispersing pigments—Wetting and dispersing pigments and ultraviolet filters in the oil phase
Moisturizing—Softens and regulates the skin, bringing a hydrated skin feeling
Comfortable skin feeling—light, silky, non-greasy; in line with the skin care concept of “clean, soft, and hydrated”
Scope of application
Skin care—can be used as a base oil for moisturizers and lotions, as well as facial and body sunscreens that help enhance water resistance.It can bring the light and non-greasy makeup effect that high-end creams pursue.
Makeup-In lipstick, it can be used as a pigment dispersant to help keep the color uniform and pure.In lip products, it can also add luster, so it can double as a lip gloss ingredient.In foundations and concealers, it can improve ductility and create a silky makeup effect.
Hair care-As a conditioner, it can cover the surface of the hair, smooth the hair scales, and make combing smoother.It can make hair soft and not greasy, and is suitable for disposable and rinse-in conditioners. For richer conditioning systems, it can work alongside
CETYL PALMITATE to balance softness and non-waxy finish on hair strands.
Anhydrous system-lipstick, makeup remover, body oil and massage products can absorb it well.In solid products, it can adjust the smoothness and chromaticity of the product.
It is most suitable for high-end skin care and hair care products to meet the needs for true moisturizing and delicate touch.
