CAS 540-10-3
:Cetyl palmitate
Description:
Cetyl palmitate, with the CAS number 540-10-3, is an ester formed from cetyl alcohol and palmitic acid. It appears as a white, waxy solid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and chloroform. This compound is commonly used in cosmetics and personal care products due to its emollient properties, providing a smooth texture and enhancing the spreadability of formulations. Additionally, cetyl palmitate acts as a thickening agent and stabilizer in creams and lotions. It is also utilized in the food industry as a food additive and in pharmaceuticals as an excipient. The substance is generally regarded as safe for use in various applications, although it is advisable to conduct patch tests for potential skin sensitivities. Its chemical structure contributes to its hydrophobic characteristics, making it effective in forming protective barriers on the skin. Overall, cetyl palmitate is valued for its multifunctional properties in both cosmetic and industrial applications.
