Description
Decyl Oleate is a complex ether obtained from decanol (fatty alcohol) and oleic acid. It belongs to emollients, which are softening components. In cosmetics, it is used for softening, moisturizing, and improving the texture of the skin. Thanks to its silky, non-sticky texture, it is often found in creams, lotions, masks, sunscreens, and decorative cosmetics. This ingredient forms a thin protective layer on the surface of the skin, reducing transepidermal water loss and making the skin smooth, elastic, and well-groomed.
