Diethoxyethyl Succinate

A liquid ester used as a texture modifier and mild emollient in cosmetics. It helps formulas spread smoothly and gives them a non-greasy feel. It is well tolerated at cosmetic use levels.

Cosmetic information for general education, not medical advice. A verdict is a reading of the published evidence, never a guarantee for your skin: any ingredient can irritate someone, so patch test new products and see a professional if you react. Concern is graded on cited evidence, never on hazard-score lists. See how we score.
