About

Butyl Palmitate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Butyl Palmitate is the butyl ester of palmitic acid, a saturated fatty acid widely present in plant and animal fats. It functions as a skin conditioning agent and emollient in cosmetic formulations. While not specifically restricted under EU cosmetic regulations, it falls under broader REACH obligations for esters; overall it has a well-established safety profile in topical applications with minimal irritation potential.
