NSOAF™2EHP ETHYLHEXYL PALMITATE CAS NO. 29806-73-3
What is NSOAF™2EHP
NSOAF™2EHP ethylhexyl palmitate is a branched-chain fatty acid ester made from palmitic acid and 2-ethylhexanol.The branched chain structure makes its texture light: it can be applied smoothly to the skin instead of forming a heavy membrane.At room temperature, it is a colorless transparent liquid, CAS No: 29806-73-3, is an excellent skin softener, chemical stability and thermal stability, with extremely light and refreshing emollient oil, good breathability, good spreading, and good emulsifying stability.Can be used as sunscreen, refreshing and has excellent spreadability, solubility and stability, as well as various creams, lotions, and other skin care products.
Its role in the formula
It can fill the gaps between keratinocytes and form a dry and silky film on the skin.The skin feels soft and smooth, not greasy.Therefore, it is commonly used in daily creams and lotions, because the heavy oil can make the skin feel uncomfortable.Compared with some waxier emollients such as
CETYL PALMITATE, it delivers a much lighter finish without the waxy drag on skin.
- Solvents for ultraviolet filters and oil-soluble active ingredients
It can dissolve lipophilic active ingredients and distribute them evenly.In sunscreen products, it can dissolve filter agents such as avobenzon and ethylhexyl triazinone to keep them in suspension and avoid separation or crystallization.It also has the same effect on phytophenols, retinols and essential oils.Formulators often pair it with
Oil in water emulsifier to build stable, low-tack sunscreen systems.
- Pigment wetting and dispersing agent
Makeup requires pigments to remain dispersed.NSOAF™2EHP can wet the pigment particles to prevent them from agglomeration or precipitation, thereby maintaining uniform color and silky texture during the shelf life.It works well alongside other dispersing aids and is often selected when the formula needs better pigment flow than
Isopropyl myristate can offer.
It can slow down the speed at which fragrance dissipates from the skin.A small amount can help extend the fragrance retention time without changing the fragrance.
In rinse-off and disposable hair care products, it can cover hair scales, reduce friction between hair strands, and make dry and wet combing easier.
