About
Caprylyl Eicosenoate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Caprylyl Eicosenoate is an ester formed from caprylyl alcohol and eicosenoic acid (a mono-unsaturated C20 fatty acid), functioning as an occlusive and emollient in skin care formulations. It is not restricted under EU Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009. Eicosenoic acid is a naturally occurring fatty acid found in cardiolipin and other lipids, and its ester derivatives are well-tolerated by the skin with minimal sensitization risk.
