NSOAF™2EHP Ethylhexyl Palmitate Moisturizing Oil CAS NO 29806-73-3
NSOAF™2EHP (Ethylhexyl Palmitate) is a synthetic ester emollient. It is a clear low-viscosity liquid that blends well with the oil phase components.Using it as a formula can reduce the blocking sensation when applying, and it can also make it easier for the product to push away and spread evenly on the surface of the skin.
Compared with those heavy-textured triglycerides, or oils with strong sealing properties, the film it forms on the surface of the skin is breathable and non-greasy, does not affect the absorption rate of the product, and can make the application more uniform.
Its compatibility with ultraviolet filters, pigments, and fat-soluble active ingredients is particularly good, so it is very prominent in sunscreen and makeup skin care formulas-after all, in such formulas, whether the ingredients can be evenly distributed is often particularly critical. .
In addition, it has oxidation resistance and thermal stability in itself. Whether it is stored or processed, it can ensure that the product formula structure is not destroyed when encountering different conditions.If used in combination with structured additives such as the
cationic fabric softener system, the texture of the product can be further optimized and the consistency of the emulsion can be more suitable.
1. The actual role in the formula
In the actual design of the formula, 2EHP is mainly used to adjust the slip feeling, which can significantly reduce the interface friction when the product is applied.In this way, creams and lotions can be pushed away more smoothly, without increasing greasy feeling, and consumers can feel smoother skin.
It spreads quickly and can quickly cover the surface of the skin, so it is particularly suitable for skin care products that require absorption speed, such as daily moisturizing creams and sunscreen lotions.
In addition, it can also help pigments to be better wetted and dispersed, so that the color of colored products is more uniform, and at the same time, it can also make the protective film of sunscreen products more continuous and complete, and improve the sunscreen effect.
2. Advantages of formula stability
From the point of view of formula stability, 2EHP's unique ester structure gives it strong antioxidant and hydrolysis resistance, and can extend the shelf life of the product. No matter how long it is placed, the smell and appearance of the product can remain stable and will not change easily.
At the same time, it can also reduce the risk of phase separation of the emulsion system and make the formula more stable, especially those formulas that are susceptible to temperature fluctuations. This effect will be more obvious.Whether it is a low-viscosity emulsion or a medium- and high-viscosity cream with high structural integrity requirements, it can be perfectly adapted.
3. Application scope and addition suggestions
2EHP has a wide range of applications. It can be used in all kinds of sunscreen products, lightweight creams, body lotions, makeup primer (makeup primer), and conditioning skin care products that we usually use.
It has excellent spreadability, almost no residue after application, and stable formula performance, allowing formulators to design high-quality products that meet consumers' skin-feeling expectations and are technically reliable.
Its recommended dosage is generally between 3% and 30%. The specific amount depends on the texture and absorption effect of the product, as well as the overall structure of the formula.
