Isocetyl palmitate

Isocetyl palmitate (CAS 127770-27-8 ), also supplied under trade names TEGOSOFT HP and DERMOL ICP, is a synthetic ester of isocetyl alcohol and palmitic acid used primarily as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent. It delivers a lightweight, non-greasy feel in topical formulations and functions as a lubricant and plasticizer across several industrial applications. In personal care, it is incorporated into skin creams and lotions. Sunscreens and color cosmetics utilize this ester to improve spreadability and provide a smooth after-feel without occlusive heaviness. Lip care and makeup products benefit from its ability to disperse pigments evenly. The ingredient contributes significant softness to the final formula while maintaining stability. In lubricant and metalworking formulations, it acts as a base fluid or co-lubricant where a biodegradable ester is preferred. This low-viscosity fluid is ideal for applications requiring high performance and environmental compatibility. Coatings and sealant manufacturers use it as a plasticizing component to improve flexibility and substrate wetting. Isocetyl palmitate is supplied as a clear, low-viscosity liquid. It is available in cosmetic-grade quality meeting standard industry purity requirements for personal care use and in technical grade for industrial applications. Bulk supply is typical in drums and IBCs, with sample quantities available for formulation trials. This versatile chemical ensures consistent performance across a wide range of commercial and industrial manufacturing sectors. Contact us for supply of Isocetyl palmitate Request Quote
