Ester CO
What is Ester CO?
Ester CO is a clear, slightly oily liquid with the INCI name Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate. This ester is widely used in cosmetic formulations because of its excellent spreadability, silky skin feel and good compatibility with other ingredients. Thanks to its light texture, Ester CO is ideal for products that need to be absorbed quickly without leaving a greasy residue.

How is Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate made?
Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate is synthesized by the esterification of cetearyl alcohol (a mixture of cetyl and stearyl alcohol) with ethyl hexanoic acid. The result is a stable, skin-friendly ester with excellent cosmetic properties. The production process ensures a consistent product with a high degree of purity and oxidation stability.
The function of Ester CO
Ester CO acts as an emollient and lubricant that provides a smooth skin feel. It improves the spreadability of creams and lotions, without clogging pores. In make-up products, it helps with even application and prevents drying out. In addition, it is compatible with UV filters and other active ingredients, which makes it suitable for sun protection products.
