Cetyl Ethylhexanoate
Cetyl EthylhexanoateBarrier
A silky, lightweight emollient ester that softens skin and gives a smooth, non-greasy slip.
What it does
Cetyl ethylhexanoate is an emollient ester prized for a light, silky, dry-feel finish. It softens and smooths the skin surface, spreads easily, and improves the sensory feel of creams, lotions, and makeup without a heavy or oily afterfeel. It is a texture and conditioning ingredient rather than a targeted active.
