Isopropyl Palmitate (MF: C19H38O2 MW: 298.5), produced by esterification of palmitic acid with isopropyl alcohol, is a common synthetic oil component. It exhibits stable properties, resisting oxidation and odor development. Its core advantages lie in its refreshing feel, rapid absorption, and compatibility with diverse ingredients. Consequently, it is widely used in formulations requiring improved texture and skin feel. It is virtually non-irritating and suitable for most skin types.
