Octyl Palmitate (Ethylhexyl Palmitate) · Emollient

Used in skin and hair care, pre- and after-sun care, color cosmetics and pressed powders.

Ethylhexyl palmitate, also known as octyl palmitate, is an ester of 2-ethylhexanol and palmitic acid. Palmitic acid is a fatty acid found naturally in plants and animals. It is derived from palm oil. It has a very light, non-sticky feel on the skin. Forms a thin film on skin and hair that helps prevent the loss of natural moisture that can otherwise occur with exposure to harsh conditions such as wind, sunlight or pollutants. It also acts as a solvent, carrier and fragrance fixative.

Storage: In a cool, dry place, away from moisture and direct light.

Precautions: Once the container is opened, handle the product with care to avoid secondary microbial contamination.
