C12-15 ALKYL BENZOATE

C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate is a lightweight emollient ester widely used in cosmetic and personal-care formulations to provide excellent spreadability and a smooth, elegant skin feel.

It helps reduce the heavy or greasy sensory characteristics associated with some oils and emollients, making it particularly useful in formulations designed for a lighter, more refined finish.

C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate can improve application, glide and overall sensory performance in creams, lotions, sunscreens, facial products and color cosmetics.

Its excellent emollient characteristics make it useful in both skincare and personal-care systems where softness, smooth spreading and a non-greasy after-feel are desired.

It is also widely used in sunscreen and color-cosmetic systems as an oil-phase ingredient and can assist with the dispersion or solubilization of certain lipophilic ingredients.
