"Oleyl" refers to oleyl alcohol (an unsaturated fatty alcohol) as the alcoholic part of a compound. Oleyl ethyl phosphate is used in cosmetic formulations. The ester acts as a surfactant (washing-active substance) and as an emulsifier (changes the interfacial tension of liquids like water and oil so that they can be mixed together).
