Chemical Properties:
white chips, crystals or powder
A fatty acid found naturally in skin and
used as the basis for many palmitiate ingredients, such as isopropyl palmitate.
Palmitic acid has many functions in cosmetics, from detergent cleansing agent
to emollient. In a cleanser, it has the potential to be drying depending on
what it is combined with and the cleanser's pH level.
In moisturizers, palmitic acid is a very
good emollient just as many other naturally-occuring fatty acids are. It helps
reinforce skin's healthy barrier function for a smoother surface .
