OCTYLDODECYL ERUCATE.

Valuable CAS 88103-59-7 / SKIN CONDITIONING - EMOLLIENT

Octyldodecyl Erucate is a sophisticated skin conditioning agent classified as an occlusive emollient. It effectively forms a protective barrier on the skin's surface, significantly enhancing moisture retention. This action helps to restore elasticity, reduce flaking, and ultimately provide a visibly smoother and softer complexion.

emollient skin conditioning agent

Science

Mechanism of Action

This alkyl ester functions by creating a durable, protective film over the skin's surface. This occlusive layer actively minimizes trans-epidermal water loss, effectively locking in essential moisture. By improving the skin's hydration and supporting its natural barrier function, it helps diminish flakiness and contributes to enhanced skin suppleness and a smooth texture.
