Trioleyl phosphate is a phosphoric acid octadecenyl triester which is used in cosmetic formulations. Oleyl alcohol, a long-chain, monounsaturated monohydric fatty alcohol, is the alcoholic component of triester. "Phosphates" refers to salts/esters of phosphoric acid. The ester compound acts as a skin care agent, emollient (makes the skin smooth and supple) and softener (makes rather brittle materials soft or supple).
