EC / List no.: 413-390-6
CAS no.: 149144-85-4
Mol. formula: C30H58O5


Di-C12-13 ALKYL MALATE is a non greasy lipid, very similar to the hydro-lipidic cutaneous layer. 
This multifunctional emollient can be easily used in emulsion or anhydrous, where is provides a particular spreadability. 
This product shows outstanding moisturizing properties providing a benefit in treatment of aged skin as well as greasy skin as a sebum regulator. 
This ester provides a rich texture without leaving a greasy feeling on the skin, even when a high dosage of waxes are used.
In hair care formulations, it improves silkiness and overall dry manageability of the hair.

DI-C12-13 ALKYL MALATE is classified as :
Emollient
Skin conditioning


DI-C12-13 alkyl malate, is chemically a mixture of different, synthetically produced di-esters (DI = acroynm for the double orchestra) of C12-13 aliphatic alcohols (alkanols) and malic acid. 
The C numbering "C n-nx" preceding the ester designation (alkyl malate) indicates the number or range of alkyl (carbon) chain lengths. 
In the di-ester "DI-C12-13 alkyl malate", the alkyl chain length consists of 12-13 C atoms.
