About Cetyl Palmitate

Cetyl Palmitate is primarily an ester of cetyl alcohol and palmitic acid.[1] In cosmetics, it is used to reduce friction on the skin or hair and add a smooth feel, keep the ingredient’s characteristic odor or taste from being overly noticeable, and leave the skin’s surface feeling soft and smooth.[2]
