Ethylhexyl stearate or octyl stearate is an ester of stearic acid with octanol. It is again one member of the groups called stearate esters which are obtained by reacting stearic acid with an alkyl group containing alcohol. Stearate esters all have unique properties of oily nature, but low viscosity and lighter feel. That’s why they are the choice of solvents in makeup related products. Stearic acid is obtained from various animal and plant source. It comes as clear to slightly yellowish liquid.  

Use & Benefits: 
Stearic acid is also linked to skin’s natural fatty acid content, so it is ideal for skin preparation. Moreover, it imparts the right amount of viscosity to the product, it acts as a thickening agent as well. It also forms a film over the skin, a hydrophobic barrier which does not let the moisture pass through and escape from the skin. And without any greasy feel, it moisturizes the skin. It also nourishes the skin and provides a protective barrier; moist skin is healthy enough to fight any external inflammation. After regular application, resultant skin may become softer and smoother. It is most frequently used in skincare products, lipstick, skin makeup, and eye makeup.

Global Ethylhexyl Stearate Market: Overview

Ethylhexyl stearate also known as 2- Ethylhexyl Octadecanoate or Octyl stearate is a palm derivative which is renewable in nature and is extensively used in personal care industry. The stearate esters are prepared by the reaction between stearic acid and alcohol such as isopropyl, ethylhexyl, myistyl alcohol, cetyl, butyl among others. Stearic acid can be obtained form from animal origin as well as vegetable fats. Ethylhexyl stearate is prepared by the reaction between stearic acid and ethylhexyl alcohol. Ethylhexyl stearate is a clear ester liquid which is free of suspended matter and is available in colourless liquid form. Ethylhexyl alcohol possess unique property of low viscosity and oily nature owing to which when applied on skin or lips it forms an hydrophobic film. Thereby, softens the skin and imparts smooth appearance.

Global Ethylhexyl Stearate Market: Drivers and Restraints

Ethylhexyl Stearate. PALMESTER 1545 Ethylhexyl Stearate (EHS) O acts as an emollient. It is fatty ester derived from renewable vegetable oils. It is readily biodegradable and is GMO-free. It is bovine spongiform encephalopathy/ transmissible spongiform encephalopathy-free. It can be used to replace mineral oil. PALMESTER 1545 Ethylhexyl Stearate is used in night cream, hand cream, cleansing lotion, baby cream & massage lotion and other cosmetic care products. 
With rising consumer concern towards personal health, demand for personal care serices and products are witnessing a substantial growth. Thereby, boosting the market growth of ethylhexyl stearate as it is commonly used ester in personal care products. Ethylhexyl stearate is commonly used as an emollient which prevents the water loss. Hence, is extensively used as emulsion, bath oils and as solvent in cosmetic products. It is widely used in the manufacturing of formulations for skin make up, lipstick, eye liner and other skin care products. Apart from personal care industry, ethylhexyl stearate also widely used as an intermediate, lubricating agent and surface active agent. Owing to these properties ethtylhexyl stearate is commonly used in the manufacturing of metal working fluids. Also, it offers good thermal stability and hence finds application in aluminium rolling, also is used in manufacturing of ink additives and paints. Hence, broad spectrum of application provides an opportunistic platform for the robust growth of ethylhexyl stearate market over the period of time.

However, with rising demand for organic and natural personal care products, various natural based ingredients are being used in the manufacturing of personal care products. Thereby, restraining the market growth of ethylhexyl stearate. Moreover, stearic acid is being derived from animal fat which further refrains the growth of ethylhexyl stearate market with increasing adoption of vegan-based products. Moreover, it causes mild eye irritation and produces faint odor which may affect the adoption of ethyhexyl stearate based products among consumers.
