Ethylhexyl Cocoate 1 kg

What gives modern skincare that silky, non-greasy glide across the skin

Ethylhexyl Cocoate is a synthetic ester derived from coconut fatty acids and a branched-chain alcohol, and it belongs to the category of Emollients for Cosmetics, which brings together ingredients responsible for texture, spreadability and skin feel in finished formulations. The strongest global demand for this raw material comes from cosmetic manufacturing across skincare and color cosmetics: day and night creams, body lotions, sunscreen emulsions, BB and CC creams, foundations, lip balms, and hair styling products. Its lightweight, fast-absorbing character makes it a preferred choice wherever a dry, non-tacky finish is required rather than a heavy oily film.

In manufacturing, ethylhexyl cocoate is added to the oil phase of an emulsion at around 60-75 degrees Celsius, before the oil and water phases are combined using standard cold-hot emulsification. Usage levels typically range from 3 to 20 percent depending on the product type: light fluids and sunscreen formulas usually need only 3-8 percent, while richer creams and balms can go up to 15-20 percent. The ester pairs well with other lightweight emollients, such as Tegosoft P, which reinforces the silky slip of a formula, and Isostearyl Isostearate, which adds a velvety finish without heaviness. In sun care formulations it is frequently combined with SilkySence Plus, which improves filter stability and even distribution on skin.

Beyond core skincare, this ester is also used in decorative products such as mascaras, eyeliners and lipsticks, where it dissolves pigments and waxy components, allowing smooth, lump-free application. In body care oils and massage blends it lightens the heavier feel of plain vegetable oils, making the texture easier to spread over larger areas of skin. It also finds occasional use in household and personal-care emulsions that require gentle lubricity without irritation.

The 1 kg package size is intended for studio and small-batch cosmetic production, allowing formulators to test and refine several batches before scaling up, while also supporting steady supply for smaller cosmetic lines. The material should be stored in a tightly sealed container, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources, which helps preserve its stability throughout the shelf life.
