| CETYL PALMITATE Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties |
white to almost white crystalline powder |
| Uses |
Palmityl Palmitate is a wax ester of palmitic acid used in cosmetic and personal care products. |
| Uses |
The chemical structure of cetyl palmitate (synthetic spermaceti) is the same as whale spermaceti. It may be used to thicken, produce viscose emulsions, give stability, and add texture to emulsions. It is similar to cetearyl palmitate. |
| Definition |
ChEBI: A palmitate ester resulting from the formal condensation of palmitic acid with palmityl alcohol. It is used as a thickener and emollient in cosmetics. |
