Cosmetic Grade Isopropyl Palmitate-CAS 142-91-6
Cosmetic Grade Isopropyl Palmitate (IPP) is a high-purity low-viscosity synthetic ester emollient refined by professional esterification and multi-stage distillation purification technology.
It is a classic universal raw material in the cosmetic industry, famous for its ultra-strong spreadability, light skin feeling and high cost performance. It can quickly lubricate and smooth dry and rough skin, form a breathable protective film to lock surface moisture, and bring immediate soft and delicate skin texture without greasy burden.
It has moderate skin permeability to assist the absorption of active ingredients, improving the efficacy of skin care products. In cosmetic formulas, it can be used as an efficient fragrance solubilizer and pigment dispersant to optimize product uniformity and ductility. With mild properties, stable chemical performance, excellent low-temperature resistance and wide formula compatibility, it is an essential basic emollient for daily skin care and lightweight cosmetic products.



Key Benefits
• Ultra-Low Viscosity & Super Spreadability: Extremely low viscosity with industry-leading spreading power, fast spreading on skin, bringing light, silky and zero-resistance application texture.
• Light Non-Greasy Skin Feeling: Different from heavy emollients, it is light and breathable, no sticky residue after absorption, effectively improve product greasy texture, suitable for daily refreshing formulas.
• Efficient Skin Softening & Surface Moisturizing: Quickly replenish skin surface lipids, relieve dryness and roughness, instantly soften skin and maintain long-term superficial hydration.
• Good Solubilizing & Dispersing Performance: Excellent solubilizing effect on cosmetic essence and pigment, uniform color and fragrance, avoid precipitation and layering, stabilize formula system.
• Excellent Low-Temperature Stability: No wax precipitation or solidification in low-temperature environment, stable fluidity in four seasons, no seasonal formula adaptation pressure.
• High Cost-Effectiveness & Wide Compatibility: Universal cosmetic base oil, compatible with all oil-phase systems, stable batch quality, suitable for large-scale mass production and daily formula matching.
Applications
• Daily Refreshing Moisturizing Series: Basic emollient for facial lotion, moisturizing cream and daily skin care products, improve product ductility and bring light hydrated skin feeling.
• Whole-Body Skin Care Products: Widely used in body lotion, hand cream and body moisturizing milk, soften whole-body skin and relieve dry and rough body skin.
