2-Ethylhexyl stearate(CAT: L016823) is an ester formed from stearic acid and 2-ethylhexanol, widely used in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and industrial sectors. This clear, oily liquid functions as an effective emollient, lubricant, and solvent, offering excellent spreading properties and a non-greasy, silky skin feel. It is commonly found in skin creams, lotions, sunscreens, and hair care formulations due to its ability to enhance texture and moisture retention. In industrial applications, it serves as a plasticizer and lubricant additive. Its biodegradability and low toxicity profile also make it suitable for eco-friendly formulations in both personal care products and specialty chemical applications.
