Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.

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

Dioctadecanyl ditetradecyloctadecanoate is a complex tetra-alkyl ester of a branched fatty alcohol and fatty acid backbone, forming a high-molecular-weight wax ester. It is used as a skin-conditioning emollient and opacifying agent in cosmetic formulations. Not listed in EU restriction Annexes. The large molecular size limits skin penetration, and high-molecular-weight wax esters are generally well-tolerated.

Skin benefits

  • Effective emollient for dry skin
  • Forms protective barrier on skin surface
  • Low systemic absorption due to large molecular size
  • Non-irritating at cosmetic concentrations
