Other names: Hexyldecyl ethylhexanoate, Hexanoic acid, 2-ethyl-, 2-hexyldecyl ester, 0F20QV560D, 439134-25-5, DTXSID201021641, 128165-66-2, DTXCID501506650, HEXYLDECYL ETHYLHEXANOATE [INCI], Iceh, UNII-0F20QV560D, 2-hexyldecyl 2-ethylhexanoate, SCHEMBL3326003, VDHIEQOYPSVNIM-UHFFFAOYSA-N, Q27236692

Hexyldecyl ethylhexanoate is readily biodegradable. According to the Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment readily biodegradable substances can be expected to undergo rapid and ultimate degradation in most environments, including biological Sewage Treatment Plants.Therefore, after passing through conventional STPs, only low concentrations of these substances are likely to be (if at all) released into the environment.

Hexyldecyl ethylhexanoate is unlikely to pose a risk for terrestrial organisms based on a) the lack of chronic exposure due the ready biodegradation and b) the low toxicity as expected for this substance for terrestrial organisms based the lack of adverse effects in aquatic ecotoxicity tests and an acute test to earthworm. Therefore, no further tests on terrestrial organisms are provided.

Hexyldecyl ethylhexanoate is an ester commonly used in cosmetics and skincare products as an emollient.
Hexyldecyl ethylhexanoate provides a smooth, silky feel to the skin without leaving a greasy residue.
This ingredient is often included in formulations to enhance spreadability and improve product texture.
Hexyldecyl ethylhexanoate is generally considered safe for use in personal care products and is non-comedogenic.
Hexyldecyl ethylhexanoate also helps to condition the skin by forming a lightweight barrier that locks in moisture.

Hexyldecyl ethylhexanoate is the ester of 2-ethylhexanoic acid and hexyldecanol, both of which contribute to its lightweight, non-oily properties.
Hexyldecyl ethylhexanoate's clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid form makes it easy to incorporate into lotions, creams, and serums.
Hexyldecyl ethylhexanoate is valued in formulations for reducing the greasy feel of heavier oils.
Hexyldecyl ethylhexanoate is often used as a substitute for silicones in "natural" or silicone-free skincare and haircare products.
Hexyldecyl ethylhexanoate's mildness and low irritation potential make it suitable for sensitive skin formulations.
