Case Study

Safety Assessment of Alkyl Esters, Including Ethylhexyl Olivate, in Cosmetics

Fiume, Monice M., et al. International journal of toxicology, 2015, 34(2), 5S-69S.

This safety evaluation examines the use of alkyl esters which comprise ethylhexyl olivate within cosmetic products. The study evaluated the safety profile of 237 alkyl esters including ethylhexyl olivate used in cosmetic formulations which primarily function as skin conditioning agents.
Ethylhexyl olivate forms from combining ethylhexyl alcohol with fatty acids extracted from olea europaea (olive) oil. The product emerges from combining 2-ethylhexyl alcohol with fatty acids taken from olea europaea (olive) oil.
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) has not yet reached a safety conclusion regarding ethylhexyl olivate but has determined hydrogenated ethylhexyl olivate to be safe. The frequency of use and concentration for ethylhexyl olivate across different contact times and contact types is illustrated in the figure.
