What it does
Esters formed from hydrogenated olive oil fatty acids and decyl alcohol, used as a stable emollient. As an emollient ingredient, it is particularly valued for stable emollient from hydrogenated olive oil, provides conditioning without oxidative instability, and plant-derived alternative to synthetic esters.
Skin type guide
Best suited to normal, dry, or combination skin. Lightweight emollients work for oily skin too — richer ones are best reserved for dry and very dry skin types.
How to use it
Works best as a later step in your routine, after water-based serums and treatments. Emollients help seal in earlier layers, so their placement matters — put lighter textures on first.
