Overview

Decyl oleate is an emollient ester with light and dry feel.

It is often used to reduce stickiness in skincare products or to help incorporate richer oils into the formula. Decyl oleate can be made synthetically or be derived from vegetables, but either way it is a fast-spreading, slightly yellow liquid ingredient that is known for its velvet finish after application to the skin.

The emollient character of decyl oleate indicates that it functions by leaving the skin feel soft and smooth.
