Hexyldecyl oleate is a substance used in cosmetic formulations. Oleates are the ester/salts of oleic acid. The substance acts as emollient (makes the skin smooth and supple), surfactant and emulsifier (changes the interfacial tension of liquids like water and oil so that they can be mixed together). Furthermore it has a skin caring effect.
