Cetyl Ethylhexanoate Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Cetyl 2-Ethylhexanoate
- 2-Ethylhexanoic Acid Hexadecyl Ester
- CEH
Cetyl ethylhexanoate supplier for cosmetic and personal-care formulators in Malaysia. Also known as cetyl 2-ethylhexanoate and abbreviated CEH, this is the branched 2-ethylhexanoate ester of cetyl alcohol, identified by CAS 59130-69-7 and formula C24H48O2.
In trade it is a clear, colourless to pale, low-viscosity liquid with little odour. Purity, acid value, colour and any declared origin separate one lot from the next. Feedstock documentation can be requested where the label requires it and is confirmed with the quotation.
Formulators reach for it to temper a formula's feel. The ester spreads thinly, wets and disperses pigments, and leaves a light, dry finish across creams, lotions, sunscreens, lip and colour cosmetics. Treat it as its own product rather than swapping in cetyl palmitate or isopropyl myristate, which are different esters with their own pages.
Send the required grade, application, quantity, packing preference and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and timing are confirmed in the quotation.

Common questions about cetyl ethylhexanoate
What is cetyl ethylhexanoate used for?
It is a light emollient ester used in personal care to give creams, lotions and colour cosmetics a smooth, non-greasy feel while aiding spread and pigment wetting. Cosmetic-grade material is the usual request.
How does cetyl ethylhexanoate feel on the skin?
It is a low-viscosity ester that spreads thinly and dries to a light, non-oily finish, which is why it is chosen where a heavy emollient oil would feel greasy. The actual feel depends on the formulation.
Is cetyl ethylhexanoate the same as cetyl palmitate or isopropyl myristate?
No. Each is a distinct fatty acid ester with its own chain chemistry and texture profile. Cetyl ethylhexanoate is the branched 2-ethylhexanoate ester of cetyl alcohol, so request the exact ester named in your formulation.
Which grade should I request?
Cosmetic-grade material is standard for personal-care work. If feedstock origin matters to the declaration, request the supporting information with your target specification; availability is confirmed with the quotation.
What details are needed for a price enquiry?
Provide the grade, application, quantity, preferred pack format and delivery location. Cetyl ethylhexanoate is quoted on enquiry with a stated validity period.
