QUICK LINKS
Behenyl acetate is a long-chain fatty acid ester that functions as an emollient and thickening agent in personal care products. It acts as a lubricant on the skin′s surface, helping to smooth and soften the skin. At the molecular level, behenyl acetate forms a protective barrier on the skin, reducing moisture loss and improving skin hydration. Also contributes to the texture and consistency of formulations, enhancing the spreadability and stability of products. Behenyl acetate can act as a binder, helping to hold the ingredients of a formulation together. Its mechanism of action involves interacting with the skin′s lipid barrier, providing a protective and moisturizing effect without penetrating the skin or affecting its physiological functions.
