About Ethylhexyl Palmitate

Ethylhexyl Palmitate is the ester of 2-ethylhexyl alcohol and palmitic acid.[1] The speed at which a scent develops and its dry-down may vary depending on the molecular size and volatility of ethylhexyl palmitate and the combination of fragrances used with it. In cosmetics, it is used to reduce friction and add a smooth feel to skin or hair and to add fragrance to products or adjust the inherent odor of raw materials.[2]
