Ethylhexyl Stearate Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- 2-Ethylhexyl Stearate
- Octyl Stearate
Ethylhexyl stearate is supplied in Malaysia to cosmetic, personal-care and industrial buyers. Also written 2-ethylhexyl stearate and known in the trade as octyl stearate, it is the 2-ethylhexyl ester of stearic acid, identified by CAS 22047-49-0 and formula C26H52O2.
Supplied as a clear to pale yellow liquid with a mild, low odour, it comes in cosmetic grades selected for colour and odour control, and in technical grades for processing duty. Ester content, acid value and saponification value are common points to include in the enquiry.
In personal care it works as an emollient and skin-conditioning ester, softening creams, lotions, sunscreens, lip care and colour cosmetics without a greasy finish. In industry it serves as a lubricity additive, mould-release aid and process lubricant. It is a distinct ester from cetyl palmitate and isopropyl myristate, which have their own pages here.
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 ethylhexyl stearate
What is ethylhexyl stearate used for?
It is an emollient ester used in personal care to soften and condition while leaving a light, non-greasy feel, and is also used as a lubricity additive and mould-release aid in industrial work.
Is ethylhexyl stearate the same as octyl stearate?
Yes, octyl stearate is the common trade name for the same 2-ethylhexyl stearate, CAS 22047-49-0. Either name can be written on the enquiry.
Cosmetic or technical grade, which should I request?
Cosmetic-grade material is standard for personal-care work where colour, odour and purity matter, while a technical grade serves lubricant and industrial duty. Give your intended application.
How does it differ from cetyl palmitate or isopropyl myristate?
They are different fatty esters with different chain structures and feel. Ethylhexyl stearate is the 2-ethylhexyl ester of stearic acid, so request the exact ester named in your formulation.
