Isopropyl Palmitate is a transparent and colorless oily liquid that is an effective emollient ester for the skin. It is made from a combination of isopropyl alcohol and palmitic acid and has excellent spreading properties that provide a silky feel to products. The Palmitate components act as lubricants on the surface of the skin, which gives it a soft and smooth texture. Additionally, Isopropyl Palmitate can be used as a binding agent in dry powder mixtures of solids to provide adhesive qualities during and after compression so that tablets or cakes can be formed.
