Ethylhexyl Palmitate
Ethylhexyl PalmitateBarrier
A light ester emollient (from palmitic acid) that gives a smooth, dry, non-greasy slip and softens skin.
What it does
Ethylhexyl palmitate is an ester used as an emollient and texture enhancer. It spreads easily, leaves a light dry-touch finish rather than an oily one, and helps disperse pigments. It softens the skin surface and improves feel; it is not a treatment active.
Also known as
octyl palmitate
