Ethylhexyl Palmitate

Ethylhexyl Palmitate is an ester of 2-ethylhexyl alcohol and palmitic acid, commonly used in cosmetic and personal care formulations as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent. It has a lightweight, non-greasy texture that imparts a smooth and silky feel to the skin. This ingredient helps to improve the spreadability of products, while also enhancing their moisturizing properties.
