About

A specialised sugar-derived ester with limited safety data, used as an emollient in cosmetic formulations.

Sorbityl furfural palmitate is the ester of sorbitol-derived sorbityl furfural with palmitic acid, used as an emollient and skin conditioning agent. The presence of furfural (a compound derived from agricultural by-products) raises some concern as furfural has shown sensitisation potential in animal studies. EU CosIng lists this ingredient without specific restrictions, but its safety data is limited compared to established esters.
