Ethylhexyl Stearate EHS Emollient Matrix-CAS 22047-49-0
Ethylhexyl Stearate (EHS) is a high-purity synthetic ester emollient refined by advanced esterification reaction and multi-stage purification technology, which is a core functional raw material widely used in modern high-end cosmetic and personal care industries.
Different from traditional ester emollients with heavy texture, poor spreadability and easy to cause sticky residue, and common matrix materials with weak compatibility and easy to precipitate, EHS has a unique long-chain ester molecular structure, with silky and delicate texture, excellent spreadability and fast skin absorption speed.
It can quickly penetrate into the skin cuticle, form a light and breathable protective film on the skin surface, soften skin texture, reduce skin friction, and bring a comfortable and non-greasy silky touch.
As a dual-functional raw material integrating emollient and matrix formulation, it not only plays the role of gentle moisturizing and softening, but also can be used as a stable base material for cosmetic formulations, improving the flexibility and ductility of the formulation, preventing the product from hardening and embrittlement during storage, and ensuring the stability of the finished product.
The product has excellent chemical stability, can be perfectly compatible with various cosmetic raw materials such as vegetable oils, emulsifiers, silicones, functional active substances and cosmetic pigments, no precipitation or delamination, no oxidation, discoloration or peculiar smell during long-term storage and high-temperature processing, mild and non-irritating, non-sensitizing, non-comedogenic, no harmful impurities, suitable for sensitive skin, oily acne-prone skin, dry skin and infant fragile skin, and is the core raw material for creating silky skincare, high-adhesion makeup and mild care cosmetic formulations.
