Abstract:
An emollient composition comprisinga) a long-chain ethyl ester, wherein said long-chain ethyl ester is a long-chain ethyl ester having at least eight carbon atoms in the primary aliphatic chain, and said long-chain ethyl ester has a percent methylene interrupted unsaturation of less than 20%, in combination withb) at least one tocopherol and at least one supplemental additive selected from the group consisting of kojic acid, malic acid, and ascorbic acid, wherein said tocopherol is present in an amount of from 0.01 to 5% by weight of said long-chain ethyl ester, wherein said tocopherol and said at least one supplemental additive in combination provide a greater oxidation stability to the long-chain ethyl ester relative to the oxidation stability that each one provides individually and whereinsaid long-chain ethyl ester is selected from the class consisting of ethyl ester of macadamia oil, ethyl ester of hybrid sunflower oil, ethyl ester of babassu oil and meadowfoam oil having a percentage methylene interrupted unsaturation of less than 5.
