AakoEmo AB-A is better as C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate. This is a multifunctional emollient which is non-occlusive and non-oily. The ‘C12-15’ in the name indicates that the alcohols have carbon chain lengths from 12 to 15. Has a low viscosity, resulting in medium spreading properties, rapid absorbency and low residual tack on the skin. Particularly suitable in sunscreen formulations due to its good compatibility profile with many organic sun filters. Combined with versions of AakoSun TiO2 it acts as an perfect emollient. Can be added to the oil phase. Typical use level is between 1 and 30%. AakoEmo Ab-A has a low Benzyl Benzoate content of max. 50 ppm, which is important for leave-on formulations containing substantial amounts of C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate.
