Description :
Octyl Palmitate can be described as a crystal clear and pale yellow colourless ester that is derived from palmitic acid as well as 2-ethylhexanol. It is well-known for its light, smooth, non-greasy feel. It is widely used in personal care, cosmetics and the fragrance industry to enhance the softness of skin and enhance the absorbency of active components. Octyl Palmitate can also serve as an aroma chemical carrier that helps to create long-lasting scents as well as ensure formulation stability.
Octyl Palmitate is extensively used in lotions, creams, sunscreens, and makeup products for its smooth texture and moisturising properties. It works synergistically with Fenchyl Alcohol and Phytol to improve skin feel and formulation stability.
Due to its compatibility with various aroma chemicals, Octyl Palmitate is used to fix and extend fragrances in perfumes and deodorants. It can be combined with Rosalva and Linalyl Formate for balanced and long-lasting scent profiles.
In the labs of chemical formulation, Octyl Palmitate serves as an oil carrier and emollient substance for the synthesis of scent compounds and cosmetics. It can be used in conjunction with Ethyl Oleate and also Disodium Succinate for a multi-component system.
