About

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

Oleyl arachidate is the esterification product of oleyl alcohol (a monounsaturated long-chain alcohol) and arachidic acid (a saturated C20 fatty acid). This wax ester functions as an emollient, viscosity-controlling agent, and skin-conditioning agent in cosmetic products. Arachidic acid is a minor component of many plant and animal fats. No EU restrictions apply; the compound is not listed in any annex of Regulation (EC) 1223/2009, and it has a favorable safety profile comparable to other fatty acid esters used in cosmetics.
