Ethylhexyl palmitate, or octyl palmitate, is the fatty acid ester derived from 2-ethylhexanol and palmitic acid. Ethylhexyl palmitate is commonly used in cosmetic formulations.Ester of 2-ethylhexanol and palmitic acid. It is a medium spreading, non-occlusive emollient used in many skin care formulations due to its rich but non-oily skin feel. Can replace mineral oil in formulations. Synonym: OctylPalmitate. Saponification value 130 - 160. Clear amber liquid. Insoluble in water, miscible in oils. Ethylhexyl Palmitate, also called Octyl Palmitate, is a clear, colorless, practically odorless liquid. Cetyl Palmitate is a white, crystalline, wax-like substance. Isopropyl Palmitate is a colorless, almost odorless, liquid. In cosmetics and personal care products, the Palmitates are used in a wide spectrum of products. The Palmitate ingredients act as lubricants on the skin's surface, which gives the skin a soft and smooth appearance. Isopropyl Palmitate may be used as a binder which is an ingredient added to compounded dry powder mixtures of solids to provide adhesive qualities during and after compression to make tablets or cakes. The Palmitates are produced using palmitic acid, a naturally occurring fatty acid found in plants and animals, along with smaller amounts of other fatty acids. Cetyl Palmitate also occurs naturally as a chief constituent of spermaceti (wax from sperm whale oil) and can be found in staghorn coral. Ethylhexyl palmitate is a clear, colorless liquid at room temperature with a slightly fatty odor. Palmitic acid and 2-ethylhexanol are reacted in the presence of an acid catalyst to make the ester. Ethylhexyl palmitate is used in cosmetic formulations as a solvent, carrying agent, pigment wetting agent, fragrance fixative and emollient. Its dry-slip skinfeel is similar to some silicone derivatives. Ethylhexyl palmitate is an ingredient that is used to improve the texture, feel, and the scent of skincare and cosmetic products. It functions as an emollient, solvent, and fragrance fixative. Ethylhexyl palmitate is an ester of 2-ethylhexyl alcohol and palmitic acid. 2-ethylhexyl alcohol can be found in natural plant fragrances and also synthetically produced. Palmitic acid is the most common saturated fatty acid found in animals, plants and microorganisms, and is a major component of palm oil. Ethylhexyl palmitate is a clear, colorless liquid at room temperature with a slightly fatty odor. It is insoluble in water but mildly dissolves in oils. As an emollient, ethylhexyl palmitate can help reduce the appearance of dry flaky skin. Ethylhexyl palmitate is also used to improve the texture and sensory feel of formulations. Can produce eye irritation in high concentrations. However, those concentrations are not in the scope of skincare products. All skin types except those that have an identified allergy to it. In cosmetics and skincare products, ethylhexyl palmitate functions as an emollient, solvent, and fragrance fixative.As an emollient, ethylhexyl palmitate helps to keep the skin moist and supple by reducing water loss from the top layers of the skin. Emollients also act as lubricants by reducing friction when anything rubs against the skin. Ethylhexyl palmitate is considered to be a non-occlusive emollient, which means it does not form a film on the surface of the skin. It is often used as an organic replacement to silicones in a cosmetic formulation because it provides a dry-slip, silky feel that is very similar to how a silicone would feel. While all skin types can benefit from emollients like ethylhexyl palmitate, emollients are very beneficial for those who have dry, rough, and/or flaky skin. Emollients can treat these symptoms, leaving the skin looking and feeling soft and smooth. In addition, emollients may be suitable for those that suffer from conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, or other inflammatory skin conditions. Ethylhexyl palmitate functions as a solvent by helping other ingredients dissolve. Solvents can also increase the efficacy of active ingredients in a formulation by enhancing their absorption through the skin. The safety of ethylhexyl palmitate and other alkyl esters has been assessed by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel, a group that evaluates the safety of skincare and cosmetic ingredients. In their findings, the Expert Panel was able to determine that ethylhexyl palmitate doesn’t show any evidence of toxicity or irritation. It does produce some very mild eye irritation in higher concentrations, usually outside the concentrations used in skincare and cosmetic products. The Expert Panel concluded that ethylhexyl palmitate and other alkyl esters were safe as cosmetic ingredients.Mixture of a fatty alcohol and palmitic acid that functions as an emollient and texture enhancer. There’s no research indicating this ingredient, which may be synthetic, plant-, or animal-derived, is a problem for skin.Ethylhexyl Palmitate, also called Octyl Palmitate, is a clear, colorless, practically odorless liquid.

In this study, we used palmitic acid methyl ester (PAME) as a starting material to produce 2‐ethylhexyl palmitate (2‐EHP), an environmentally friendly biolubricant product, which was derived from the transesterification of fatty acid methyl esters and long chain fatty alcohols. Conventional synthetic routes of 2‐EHP have disadvantages, including high catalyst price, low conversion efficiency, and pollution issues. To solve these problems, in situ transesterification of PAME with 2‐ethylhexanol (2‐EH) was conducted over unsupported potassium carbonate as heterogeneous catalyst. The optimal reaction temperature, 2‐EH to PAME molar ratio, and catalyst to PAME mass ratio were 180 °C, 3:1, and 3.0 wt%, respectively. The PAME conversion reached up to 100% within 1 hour under the optimal conditions. In addition, a kinetic model describing the experimental data over a temperature range of 160–180 °C was developed. The dependence of kinetic rate constant (k) on temperature was evaluated, and the activation energy (Ea) for the transesterification of PAME with 2‐EH was calculated to be 57.04 kJ mol−1.Ethylhexyl palmitate is an ester of 2-ethylhexyl alcohol and palmitic acid. 2-ethylhexyl alcohol can be found in natural plant fragrances and also synthetically produced.

As an emollient, ethylhexyl palmitate can help reduce the appearance of dry flaky skin. Ethylhexyl palmitate is also used to improve the texture and sensory feel of formulations. A new immobilized lipase membrane reactor was studied for synthesis of 2-ethylhexyl palmitate. The lipase from Candida sp. 99–125 was immobilized on surfactant modified cotton membrane (130IU/cm2). The conditions of enzymatic synthesis of 2-ethylhexyl palmitate were optimized and the optimized reaction conditions are: molar ratio of palmitic acid/hexanol 1:1.3 to 1:1.5, reaction temperature 40°C, lipase used in immobilization 5000IU/g membrane to 6000IU/g membrane. The membrane reactor could be reused for at least 21 batches. The average esterification degree reached 95% under these conditions. 2-Ethylhexyl palmitate was purified by washing with water followed by evaporation of the organic solvent and the purity of 98% could be obtained.

APPEARANCE
Another function of ethylhexyl palmitate in cosmetics is as a pigment wetting agent. Wetting agents work by reducing the interfacial tension between two different types of ingredients in a cosmetic formulation. Wetting agents are useful in makeup as they improve the pigment or color distribution in the formulation. Think about even eyeshadow or foundation pigment.Is a universal oil with skin care properties and has good solubilizing properties for active ingredients.

USE and BENEFITS
Non-occlusive emollient that provides a silky feel in various skin and hair care products. Medium spreading. Can replace mineral oil in formulations. Apart from being a natural option for solvent in any preparation, it can also be used to replace silicone. It has a very light feel on the skin and is non-tacky also. It forms a thin film over the skin or hair, and it does not let skin lose its inherent moisture, which otherwise can be lost in the process of exposure to the harsh environment, such as wind, sunlight or pollutants. Silicones have a “dry-slip” feel on the skin, meaning moisturized nongreasy skin, the Octyl palmitate also provides a similar effect. That’s the reason it is an ideal choice as a solvent as a carrying agent and fragrance fixative. Pigments or colorants even dispersion is very much significant in case of any cosmetic preparation, it should deliver uniform quality from the first to last use, at this point octyl palmitate is used to wet pigments and produce uniform dispersion. It is used in skincare products, sun pre/post care products, color cosmetics, and pressed powders.Ethylhexyl palmitate is used in cosmetic formulations as a solvent, carrying agent, pigment wetting agent, fragrance fixative and emollient. Its dry-slip skinfeel is similar to some silicone derivatives.Can be added to formulas as is, add to oil phase, use level 2-50%. Storage: Stable when kept in a closed container at a cool & dry place.
