DI-C12-13 ALKYL MALATE
CAS registry number: 149144-85-4
EINECS number: 413-390-6
DI-C12-13 alkyl malate, is chemically a mixture of different, synthetically produced di-esters (DI = acroynm for the double orchestra) of C12-13 aliphatic alcohols (alkanols) and malic acid. The C numbering “C n-nx” preceding the ester designation (alkyl malate) indicates the number or range of alkyl (carbon) chain lengths. In the di-ester “DI-C12-13 alkyl malate”, the alkyl chain length consists of 12-13 C atoms.
DI-C12-13 alkyl malate is used as an emollient in cosmetic products.
Di-C12-13 Alkyl Malate is a rare cosmetic ingredient, with about 0.11% of the products in our database containing it.
DI-C12-13 alkyl malate is a non greasy lipid, very similar to the hydro-lipidic cutaneous layer.
DI-C12-13 alkyl malate can be easily used in emulsion or anhydrous, where is provides a particular spreadability.
