CETYL PALMITATE
Cetyl Palmitate
Cetyl Palmitate complements the range of emollients (softening agents) and emulsifiers used in toiletries and cosmetics for care of the skin, hair, eyes and lips and in sun protection products.
Cetyl palmitate
Hexadecyl hexadecanoate, also known as Cetyl palmitate, is the ester derived from hexadecanoic acid and hexadecanol.
This white waxy solid is the primary constituent of spermaceti, the once highly prized wax found in the skull of sperm whales.
Cetyl palmitate is a component of some solid lipid nanoparticles.
The ester of cetyl palmitate and palmitic acid, this thickener and emollient helps smooth and condition dry skin.
The ingredients that comprise cetyl palmitate are naturally-occurring fatty acids.
It may be derived from animals but can also (and is usually) derived from plants or manufactured synthetically.
Dry emollient. Improves emulsion texture and stability and gives structure to cosmetic sticks. Used in skin and hair applications.
Skin Conditioner & Emollient, Cetyl Ester Wax
What is Cetyl palmitate?
Cetyl palmitate is a fatty ester composed as a result of the reaction between Cetyl alcohol and palmitic acid. Palmitic acid is a naturally occurring long-chain fatty acid, as the name suggests from palm oil. It is naturally found as a primary ingredient in spermaceti, found from whale’s skull. It comes as white waxy flakes, with a faint odor.
Use & Benefits:
It is fatty in nature and water-insoluble, meaning when it is applied to the skin it forms a waterproof layer on the skin, which is the main characteristic of a good conditioner.
Also, it does not allow already present moisture to escape and keeps skin moist with its moisture reservoir. It also acts as an occlusive or masking agent, helpful in any formulation to give a visibly acceptable appearance of the product with different colors.
It is nongreasy so, reduces the greasy feeling of oil systems. It can also form a film over the skin or hair surface, mainly because it is waterproof. It also imparts any emulsion more significant stability.
It is used in lotions, creams, moisturizers, lipsticks, hair care, sunscreens, deodorant sticks, and cleansers.
Cetyl palmitate
* The ester of cetyl alcohol and palmitic acid- a naturally occurring fatty acid found in plants and animals. It is also a chief component in the wax of sperm whale oil. It comes in the form of a white, crystalline, wax-like substance.
An emollient that lubricants and conditions the skin’s surface, helping it to appear softer and smoother. It is also used as a surfactant in shampoos, and as an emulsifier and thickening agent in various lotions and cremes. It also helps add texture various makeup products. This ingredient is primarily used in personal care products such as facial moisturizer, foundation, lipstick, lip/eye liner, sunscreen, anti-aging treatment and concealer.

Safety Measures/Side Effects:
While some palmitates have been reported to cause contact dermatitis, human skin tests of moisturizers containing 2.5%-2.7% of cetyl palmitate were found to be minimally irritating to the skin, and produced no signs of sensitization, phototoxicity or photo-contact allergenicity.
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel reviewed the safety of this ingredient and assessed it as non-toxic and non-sensitizing, deeming it safe to use in cosmetic formulations.
It must be noted, however, that clinical data on cetyl palmitate were limited to concentrations up to 2.7%. The EU Cosmetics Directive also permits this ingredient to be used in cosmetic products, provided that the fatty acids are not of animal origin.
Uses
Palmityl Palmitate is a wax ester of palmitic acid used in cosmetic and personal care products.
Uses
The chemical structure of cetyl palmitate (synthetic spermaceti) is the same as whale spermaceti. It may be used to thicken, produce viscose emulsions, give stability, and add texture to emulsions. It is similar to cetearyl palmitate.
Definition
ChEBI: A palmitate ester resulting from the formal condensation of palmitic acid with palmityl alcohol. It is used as a thickener and emollient in cosmetics.
Synonym: Cetyl palmitate, Hexadecyl hexadecanoate, Palmitic acid palmityl ester, Palmityl palmitate
Cetyl Palmitate is a refatting agent that promotes and improves the formation of emulsions. Cetyl palmitates are obtained by the esterification of fatty acids and fatty alcohol.
Creams made with Cetyl Palmitate are very compact and leave a pleasant skin feeling. Especially people who are allergic to beeswax find a good alternative in cetyl alcohol.
A white, waxy emollient that gives “body” to skincare formulas. Comes from coconut or palm kernel oil.
Stony corals, which build the coral reefs, contain large amounts of cetyl palmitate wax in their tissues, which may function in part as an antifeedant.
Cetyl palmitate is a fatty acid ester derives from cetyl alcohol and palmitic acid. It is a palm oil derivative.
The compound gives lubricating and non-greasy consistency to the pharmaceuticals, personal care, and cosmetic products.
It is classified as skin conditioning masking emollient.
Other names of cetyl palmitate include palmatic acid n-hexadecyl ester, N-hexadecyl palmitate, palmitic acid cetyl ester, palmitic acid hexadecyl ester, palmitic acid palmityl ester, hexadecyl hexadecanoate, and palmityl palmitate.
The global cetyl palmitate market is expected to grow at a significant growth rate, attributed to high demand for the compound in the product across the various industries including food & beverages, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and personal care.
Global Cetyl Palmitate Market: Dynamics
Growing industries such as beauty & personal care and pharmaceutical are expected to fuel the global cetyl palmitate market over the forecast period. The emollient effect of cetyl palmitate in skin and hair care products is expected to create positive effect on its market in the beauty & personal care segment.
