Product Application of Isopropyl Palmitate CAS#142-91-6

This product is widely used in cosmetic formulations and provides excellent moisturizing and skin-conditioning effects. It is highly compatible with the skin and is easily absorbed, allowing it to effectively reach the hair follicles and penetrate deeply into the skin cortex. This helps deliver active ingredients in cosmetic formulations more efficiently, maximizing the performance of the effective ingredients.

As a cosmetic solvent, skin moisturizer, and penetration enhancer, isopropyl palmitate is commonly used in products such as sun care products, bath oils, hair conditioners, skin creams, sunscreens, and shaving creams.

The recommended addition level in cosmetic formulations is 2–10%.
