  • Applications

    Isodecyl Palmitate (CAS 59231-33-3) is widely used in cosmetics and personal care as an emollient and slip agent, improving skin feel and moisturization in creams, lotions, lip products, and hair-care formulations; it also serves as a solvent and carrier for fragrance oils in perfumery and fragrance compositions; as a fatty-ester plasticizer and processing aid, it enhances flexibility and processability in polymer systems and in coatings and inks; in household products, it can function as a solvent and emollient to improve user comfort and formulation aesthetics.
