DESCRIPTION
OCTYL PALMITATE

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.

Practical formulation guide
Usage level: Variable, depending on the application.
How to use and incorporate: Add to the oil phase (cold or hot process). In anhydrous products, blend directly with the other oils.
Formulation tips:
  • Used to adjust skin feel: light esters give a dry touch and fast absorption; heavier ones give more emollience and shine.
  • It also helps disperse pigments and UV filters and reduces the greasy feel of vegetable oils.
  • Before scaling up, make a pilot batch and run a stability test (cycles at 4 / 25 / 45 °C/39 / 77 / 113 °F for 4 weeks, checking odor, color, pH, viscosity and separation) in the final packaging.
Compatibility: Miscible with vegetable and mineral oils, silicones and waxes; insoluble in water.
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.
Technical information for formulators: This sheet describes industrial uses of the raw material in the development of cosmetic products. It is not an efficacy claim for any finished product. The person responsible for the formulation must validate the concentration, compatibility and claims of their product in accordance with applicable regulations.
