About

Dioctadecanyl Didecyltetradecanoate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Dioctadecanyl didecyltetradecanoate is a tetra-alkyl wax ester composed of multiple long-chain fatty alkyl groups. Used as a skin-conditioning emollient and viscosity-controlling agent, it is not listed in EU Annex II (banned) or Annex III (restricted) substances under Regulation 1223/2009. The large molecular weight and hydrophobic nature limit both skin penetration and irritation potential.

Skin benefits

  • Effective emollient for skin barrier support
  • Protective occlusion layer formation
  • Minimal irritation potential due to large molecular size
