You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

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.

Ethylhexyl Palmitate can be used to substitute mineral oil.

A cleansing oil that did not trigger my acne-prone skin. Leaves the skin smooth and soothed afterwards.
