Ethylhexyl Palmitate

Low risk

FunctionEmollient

What it is — Ethylhexyl Palmitate (INCI: Ethylhexyl Palmitate) is a lightweight ester emollient.

What it does — It is commonly used to add slip and a smooth, dry-touch feel and to help spread pigments and other ingredients evenly.

Typical use — It appears in lotions, creams, sunscreens, cleansing oils and makeup, where it improves texture without a heavy finish.

Who it suits / good to know — Suitable for most skin types and often chosen for a light finish. Very oily or blemish-prone skin may prefer to see how ester-heavy products feel on them.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk: an inert emollient ester. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test if your skin is easily irritated.

Why we grade it Low: Low risk — inert emollient ester.
