C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate is a highly versatile ingredient, offering numerous benefits specifically tailored for personal care formulations. Known for its excellent solvency for sun protection agents, it ensures an even and smooth application of cosmetics on the skin, imparting a light and non-greasy emollience. This remarkable compound also helps prevent whitening from antiperspirant actives and enhances the aesthetics of formulations that contain high quantities of heavy oils.
With a recommended use level of 1-10%, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate serves as an ideal emollient in cosmetic creams and lotions. It is particularly well-suited for sun protection products, where its properties are most beneficial.
Originating from synthetic sources, specifically petroleum-derived, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate is soluble in beeswax, castor oil, lanolin, isopropyl myristate, vegetable oils, and volatile silicones, while being insoluble in glycerine. This naturally occurring ester of benzoic acid is created through the reaction of benzoic acid and C12-15 alcohols. Benzoic acid itself is a white crystalline substance found naturally in benzoin, cranberries, and coconut oil.
Vegetable oils and butters are all esters with varying melting points. C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate stands out due to its rating of 0-1 on the cosmetic safety review database, highlighting its safety and efficacy as an emollient. It softens and smoothes the skin, offering the silkiest texture among esters, making it a favorite choice for many bath and body products.
Incorporating C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate into your formulations offers an elegant feel, significantly enhancing the overall quality and performance of your products. Rest assured, its exceptional safety profile and beneficial properties make it a valuable addition, helping to create high-quality, customised, and eco-conscious solutions that your customers will love and trust. This dedication to quality and personal touch ensures customers feel valued and supported, reinforcing your role as a reliable partner in their personal care journey.
