Emolid CC is a coconut-derived cosmetic ester used to give formulations a light, silky, low-greasy skin feel. It is a familiar emollient in natural-focused cosmetic formulation and is often chosen by formulators looking for elegant spreadability, fast absorption and a smooth finish. This clear, oil-soluble liquid works well where a lighter alternative to heavy plant oils is needed, while still offering slightly more emollience than very dry-touch esters such as Emolid ISN.
It is especially well suited to creams, lotions, facial oils, haircare, body oils and massage products. Why we love it: This is a beautifully versatile emollient for natural-focused formulation work. It gives products a polished, lightweight finish with excellent slip, making it a useful choice when a formulation needs to feel smooth and modern without relying on silicones.
