About

A plant-derived emollient ester that helps moisturize and soften skin.

Dihydrophytosteryl Octyldecanoate is a diester formed from dihydrophytosterol and octyldecanoic acid, functioning as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent. Phytosterol derivatives are naturally occurring in plant membranes and are well tolerated on human skin with no EU restrictions. The structural similarity to skin lipids makes it an excellent moisturizer for sensitive and dry skin types.
