ISOSTEARETH-3 ETHYLHEXANOATE.

Insufficient Data CAS - / SKIN CONDITIONING

This ingredient functions as a multi-purpose emollient, conditioning the skin for a smooth, soft feel. It enhances cosmetic textures by improving spreadability and offering a non-oily finish, while also helping to prevent moisture loss.

Summary

Emollient Skin-conditioning Texture Enhancer Lubricant Moisture Barrier Support

Science

Mechanism of Action

It primarily acts as an emollient, forming a thin, lubricating film on the skin's surface to reduce friction and impart a soft, smooth feel. This film also provides water-repelling properties, helping to defend against moisture evaporation and maintain skin hydration. Additionally, it functions as a texture enhancer, facilitating the even spread of formulations.

Stability

This ingredient is anticipated to enhance overall product stability, similar to related ethylhexanoates. Its oxygen-stable nature, as observed in cetyl ethylhexanoate, can contribute to more fluid emulsions, allowing for greater versatility in achieving desired textures.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Not reviewed
Sensitization risk Unknown

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has not specifically reviewed ISOSTEARETH-3 ETHYLHEXANOATE. However, the panel has deemed 16 other 'alkyl ethylhexanoates' (simple esters like Isocetyl Ethylhexanoate and Isostearyl Ethylhexanoate) as safe in cosmetic formulations at current use concentrations, provided they are nonirritating. It is important to note that ISOSTEARETH-3 ETHYLHEXANOATE is an alkoxylated ether-ester, a different chemical class. Maximum reported use concentrations for related alkyl ethylhexanoates include 77.3% in rinse-off products and 52% in lipstick for Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, and 46% in nail products for Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate.

Verdict

Insufficient Data

While offering multiple benefits as an emollient and texture enhancer suitable for various skin types, its safety profile lacks direct review by CIR, leading to insufficient specific data for a definitive rating.
