Recommended Uses & Known Applications

Hetester HCA should be used in lip oils, skin oils and lipsticks for its gloss giving, film forming, and skin adhering properties. These properties (film forming, high viscosity, and adherence) attribute to the “building” property desired when formulating products such as mascaras and shadows. In lip, face and eye make-up products, this compound may add to longer lasting wear as well as giving a desired gloss.
