USES:

Isopropyl Palmitate is a non-polar oily liquid. This physical property makes it an anti-static.
An anti-static agent’s function is crucial in any formulation, since static charge may bring instability in any preparation and can break the emulsion into two different phases oil and water.

The anti-static agent can neutralize this charge and improves stability.

Isopropyl Palmitate is also a moisturizing and skin conditioning agent.
So, Isopropyl Palmitate forms a film on the surface of skin or hair which is water-resistant and doesn’t allow moisture to escape.

Thus, Isopropyl Palmitate saves moisture for skin. Which is helpful in case of dry skin.
Also, Isopropyl Palmitate has a longer chain in its structure, which gives it more affinity to skin.

Isopropyl Palmitate functions as a lubricant; it helps with the flow of dry ingredients.
