Eceryl™ 12

Eceryl™ 12 is an ester derived from erucic fatty acids and acts as a co-surfactant with emollient and solubilizing properties. It reduces skin redness and disruption of the skin barrier function caused by surfactant penetration. Eceryl™ 12 is synthesized with glycerin, an endogenous component of the skin known for its humectant properties. Erucic acid is a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid (22:1 -9) found in rapeseed oil (Brassica napus).

In vitro and Clinical Actions
  • Decreases surfactant aggressiveness:
  • Forms large micelles and increases the average diameter of SDS- micelles (Dynamic Light Scattering)
  • Prevents SDS-induced damages to the barrier function (Tewameter®)
  • Prevents SDS-induced Skin erythema (Mexameter®)
Key Features
  • Mild co-surfactant in toiletries
  • Co-emulsifier and emollient in emulsions
  • Hydrophilic emollient and solubility promoter for lipophilic ingredients in clear systems

Formulation Procedures
  • As co-surfactant in toiletries, it can be added together with the other surface-active ingredients.
  • As co-emulsifier, it can be added together with the primary emulsifier.
  • As solubility promoter for clear hydrophilic systems, pre-disperse the lipophilic ingredient (perfume, essential oil) in EcerylTM-12 and add the mix to the formulation.
