Oleochemicals Used in Cosmetics and Personal Care

Oleochemicals derived from Palm Oil, Palm Kernel Oil and other vegetable-oil feedstocks provide important functional raw materials for cosmetics and personal-care manufacturing. Different oleochemical families provide humectancy, emollience, cleansing, foaming, structuring, thickening and formulation functionality across a wide range of consumer products.

Refined Glycerine is widely used as a humectant, while Fatty Acids such as Stearic Acid can provide structure and serve as chemical building blocks for downstream ingredients. Fatty Alcohols such as Cetyl Alcohol, Stearyl Alcohol and Cetearyl Alcohol can contribute to texture, consistency and emollience in creams, lotions and hair-care formulations.

Surfactants including SLES and CAPB can provide cleaning, foaming and wetting properties in shampoo, body wash, liquid soap and related cleansing products. Fatty Acid Esters such as Isopropyl Palmitate and Isopropyl Myristate can provide emollient and sensory functionality, while Soap Noodles provide a convenient base material for soap-bar manufacturing.
