Functional Ingredients
Elixi-CARE EA is a volatile, fast-evaporating solvent widely used in beauty and personal care formulations. It provides excellent solvency for resins, film for-mers, polymers, pigments, and fragrance ingre-dients, while enabling quick drying and smooth application. It is particularly important in nail care and color cosmetics, where it supports uniform film for-mation, gloss, and adhesion without leaving greasy or sticky residues. Due to its light sensory profile and clean evapo-ration, Ethyl Acetate contributes to a professional finish and enhanced product performance. Common applications include nail polish and top coats, mascara, eyeliner, hair styling sprays, and fragrance-based products.
Ethyl Acetate is best formulated as part of a balanced solvent system to achieve fast drying, smooth application, and high-quality film for-mation. Proper combination with co-solvents and plasticizers is essential to optimize performance and product stability.
