CETIOL C5 10 kg

A Silky Ester That Replaces Silicones in Bulk Manufacturing

CETIOL C5 is a coconut-derived ester of caprylic acid that formulators value for a distinctive skin feel - it glides like silicone yet remains plant-derived and rinses off easily with water. Industrial cosmetic manufacturers rely on it as a replacement for cyclomethicones in creams, lotions, sunscreens, and hair products whenever a light, non-greasy slip is needed without any filmy residue. The 10 kg packaging targets conveyor-line manufacturing and steady bulk supply for cosmetic plants, contract manufacturers, and pharmaceutical labs that need consistent batch-to-batch performance. This ingredient belongs to the broader category of emollients wholesale, where various softening and texturizing oils for industrial formulas are gathered.

The primary application of CETIOL C5 lies in skincare: day and night creams, body lotions, after-shave products, and fast-absorbing serums. It is also widely used in color cosmetics such as foundations, BB and CC creams, where even pigment dispersion without a greasy feel is essential. In sunscreen formulations, this ester helps dissolve UV filters and reduces the tackiness of the finished product. Another major field is haircare - conditioners and leave-in serums, where it delivers smoothness and light shine without weighing hair down. In perfumery compositions, it sometimes serves as a low-viscosity carrier for fragrance oils. Household chemistry applications are less common but occasionally include polishing formulas for leather and textiles.

CETIOL C5 blends well with other light esters and triglycerides, allowing formulators to fine-tune the final texture. Combining it with Capric Triglyceride 1 L produces a richer yet still light cream base, while adding Lanol 99 1 kg improves glide and emulsion stability under temperature fluctuations. For hair and skin care formulas, it is often paired with silicone alternatives like SeraSilk EL 63 1 kg to achieve a more complex sensory profile without adding heaviness.

The recommended addition point is the oil phase at 60-75 degrees Celsius, together with other fats and waxes, before emulsification. Typical dosage ranges from 3 to 15 percent depending on the desired lightness and product type. The ingredient is heat stable and tolerates standard homogenization processes well. Store the raw material in a tightly sealed container, in a dry area at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat sources to preserve stability throughout the shelf life.
