Overview
Ethylhexyl isononanoate is an emollient ester, and this means it can be used as an oil-based solvent and also makes the skin appear softer and smoother when used in skincare products.
This ingredient is known to be extraordinarily dry when rubbed into the skin, so it is useful for reducing tackiness is products where a dry feel is desired, such as lotions, creams, and even certain stick products. By itself, ethylhexyl isononanoate has very low viscosity and feels rather non-oily.
