Cholesteryl Nonanoate
What Cholesteryl Nonanoate is & what it does
Cholesteryl Nonanoate is a cholesterol-derived ester used mainly as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent. It contributes a smooth, conditioned feel and can support the lipid character of a formula, since cholesterol-type lipids are part of the skin's own barrier. It appears in moisturizers and rich skincare textures. It is generally regarded as mild and non-sensitizing at cosmetic levels.
