Ethylhexyl Palmitate is also used to help improve the texture of cosmetics. It helps other ingredient dissolve in products and help disperse ingredients more evenly.

It can also help stabilize the fragrances in a product as a fragrance fixative.
Ethylhexyl Palmitate can be used to substitute mineral oil.

Honestly, I do like this. However it’s not the best balm I’ve used. It really does leave a film on your face, which doesn’t work for all skin types, it just happens to work for mine. A little too expensive, definitely get the beauty of joseon one instead.
