Isooctyl palmitate

Isooctyl palmitate (CAS 1341-38-4 ), also known commercially as palmitic acid 2-ethylhexyl ester, is a synthetic ester of palmitic acid used as an emollient, solvent, and carrier in cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations. It provides skin-conditioning and spreading properties without the heaviness associated with natural oils. In personal care, it functions as a lightweight emollient in lotions, creams, and sunscreens, improving skin feel and spreadability. This versatile ester helps in reducing greasiness in various topical applications. Pharmaceutical topical formulations use it as a carrier solvent to enhance the delivery and dispersion of active ingredients across the skin barrier effectively. Color cosmetics such as lipsticks and foundations incorporate it as a plasticizer and binder to improve texture and application consistency. It also serves as a solubilizer for oil-soluble actives and pigments in product formats. The material is effective in both rinse-off and leave-on product formats for diverse consumer needs. Isooctyl palmitate is supplied as a clear, low-viscosity liquid suitable for direct incorporation into many different formulations. It is available in cosmetic-grade and pharmaceutical-grade specifications to meet the purity requirements of regulated end products. Bulk supply is standard in drums and intermediate bulk containers for industrial logistics. Technical-grade material is also available for non-cosmetic industrial applications requiring high performance. Our product ensures consistent quality and reliability for manufacturers across the global chemical and beauty industries. Contact us for supply of Isooctyl palmitate Request Quote
