Cetyl PalmitateBarrier
A wax-like ester emollient that thickens balms and creams and leaves a smooth, conditioned finish.
What it does
Cetyl palmitate is an ester of cetyl alcohol and palmitic acid with a waxy character. It thickens and stabilizes richer formulas like balms and creams and softens the skin surface. Naturally found in some plant and animal waxes, it is a texture-and-feel emollient rather than an active.
