Hexyl laurate is an ester synthesized from hexyl alcohol and lauric acid.
Hexyl Laurate is a skin conditioning emollient, solvent, and viscosity agent used to thicken beauty products and cosmetics.
Because of Hexyl laurates somewhat fruity flavor, Hexyl laurate is often used in lipsticks and lip products.
Hexyl laurate is an ester made when hexyl alcohol and lauric acid are combined.
hexyl laurate is a mild emollient and a vehicle for lipid-soluble active ingredients.
Hexyl laurate is non-irritating and practically odorless.
Hexyl laurate enhances product spreadability and feel on skin.
A fast spreading emollient ester (hexyl alcohol + lauric acid) that’s used in water in oil emulsions or in water-free formulas.
Hexyl laurate gives a light skin feel.
Use & Benefits of Hexyl laurate:
Hexyl laurate is an ester with long-chain alcohol.
Hexyl laurate has more affinity for lipids than water.
So, when Hexyl laurate is applied on the surface of skin or hair, it forms an occlusive layer.
This layer protects the skin from environmental damaging factor as well as prevents moisture escaping from the skin.
Hexyl laurate acts as an emollient, which makes skin softer and smoother.
The lauric acid is also very much beneficial for skin since it is one of the lipid contents of the skin structure.
Hexyl laurate is used to increase the viscosity of the product.
Hexyl laurate is also used as a solvent, in various products.
Hexyl laurate can be used in lipsticks, lip products, and other makeup product.
Composed of Hexyl Alcohol and Lauric Acid, a naturally occurring fatty acid. Used as skin-conditioning agent – emollient, solvent, and viscosity controlling.
Hexyl laurate belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty acid esters.
These are carboxylic ester derivatives of a fatty acid.
Hexyl laurate is made of hexyl alcohol and lauric acid, a naturally occurring fatty acid.
