Oleyl Erucate

Description

Oleyl Erucate is an ester of oleic and erucic acid, which acts as a gentle, silky emollient with a light, "dry" texture. In cosmetics, it is used to soften, facilitate distribution of the product, and provide smoothness to the skin and hair. It creates a pleasant silky feeling without leaving a greasy film and is a good substitute for silicones in natural formulas. It is often used in creams, oils, conditioners, serums, and makeup.
