Oleyl oleate is a wax ester formed by the condensation of oleic acid and oleyl alcohol.
Properties
Oleyl oleate has the chemical formula C
36H
68O
2 and a molecular weight of 532.92 g/mol.[2] It is the ester derived from oleic acid and oleyl alcohol, both featuring a cis double bond at the 9-position. The systematic name is (9Z)-octadec-9-en-1-yl (9Z)-octadec-9-enoate.
Uses
Oleyl oleate is used as an emollient in cosmetics, providing skin conditioning and a non-greasy feel.[3] It is an ingredient in creams, lotions, and other personal care products. Oleyl oleate serves as a synthetic analogue of jojoba oil,[4] which consists primarily of similar long-chain wax esters, and has been explored for applications in lubricants and biofuels through biotechnological production in plant seeds.[5]
