ISO PROPYL PALMITATE

About ISO PROPYL PALMITATE

Isopropyl Palmitate is a lightweight ester derived from isopropyl alcohol and palmitic acid. It is a clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid widely used in cosmetic and personal care products as an emollient, moisturizer, solvent, and texture-enhancing agent. Isopropyl Palmitate provides excellent skin lubrication and imparts a soft, silky, and non-greasy feel to formulations. It helps improve the spreadability of creams, lotions, sunscreens, makeup products, and hair care formulations, allowing for smooth and even application. The ingredient reduces the heavy or oily sensation of certain oils and waxes, contributing to a more elegant sensory profile. It is commonly incorporated into moisturizers, cleansing products, foundations, lip products, hair conditioners, and massage preparations. Isopropyl Palmitate also functions as a pigment wetting agent and solvent in color cosmetic formulations. Its excellent compatibility with a broad range of cosmetic ingredients makes it a versatile choice for both skin care and hair care products. The ingredient enhances product aesthetics while helping maintain skin softness and smoothness.
