About

Erucyl Erucate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

ERUCYL ERUCATE is the diester of erucyl alcohol and erucic acid (both C22 monounsaturated fatty acid derivatives), functioning as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent in cosmetics. It is not listed in EU Annex II (banned) or Annex III (restricted) substances, and no maximum concentration restriction applies. As a high-molecular-weight wax ester with no ethoxylation, it carries no 1,4-dioxane contamination risk and has no known sensitization, irritation, or toxicity concerns. It is chemically inert and highly stable.
