Information

Ethylhexyl Palmitate, also known as octyl palmitate, is an ester formed from the combination of 2-ethyl hexanol and palmitic acid. It is a multifunctional ingredient used in skincare and cosmetic products, known for its emollient properties and ability to contribute to the texture and feel of formulations.

Where does it come from?

Ethylhexyl Palmitate is derived from palmitic acid, a fatty acid that occurs naturally in plants and animals. The palmitic acid used is typically derived from natural sources such as coconut and palm oils. These oils are often sourced from sustainably grown and organic palm plantations.

What are the benefits?

MOISTURIZING SMOOTHING PROTECTING

What are the benefits?

  • Emollient: It can soften and smooth the skin by forming a thin, non-occlusive barrier that locks in moisture from the skin’s upper layers.
  • Texture: It provides a luxurious, silky feel to products, contributing to their application and sensory experience.
  • Solvent: Ethylhexyl Palmitate acts as a solvent, which can dissolve other ingredients and contribute to uniform dispersion of pigments and active components in the formulation.
  • Lubricating: It provides slip and lubricity, contributing to the sensory profile and ease of application.
  • Fragrance Fixative: It serves as a fixative for fragrances, making them last longer on the skin.
  • Wetting Agent: It ensures even dispersion of pigments in color cosmetics, contributing to consistent product quality.
