About - Isopropyl Palmitate IPP-98

Isopropyl Palmitate (IPP-98) is an emollient widely used in cosmetics and topical pharmaceutical formulations where effective skin absorption is desired. It is an ester formed from isopropyl alcohol and palmitic acid, both derived from natural vegetable sources. IPP-98 appears as a colorless, oil-like liquid with little to no odor and is insoluble in water. It is commonly used to thicken formulations and enhance the texture of beauty products, resulting in a richer, denser feel.

Production

Isopropyl Palmitate is produced by esterifying isopropyl alcohol with palmitic acid, a naturally occurring fatty acid. The reaction mixture undergoes purification and refining, including neutralization of catalysts and distillation, to yield high-purity Isopropyl Palmitate. The commercial production process ensures the removal of impurities, resulting in the IPP-98 grade used in personal care and cosmetic products.

Isopropyl Palmitate IPP-98 Application

Skin care

Acts as an emollient, thickener, and lubricant in beauty products. It helps lock in hydration and enhances the penetration of active ingredients. Isopropyl Palmitate is effective at solubilizing lanolin, making it ideal for use in anhydrous skin lubricating lotions with high lanolin content. It leaves the skin soft and smooth without an oily residue.
