Isopropyl Palmitate
Can worsen Oily Skin
These ingredients are known to potentially contribute to excess oil or shine, but they don’t affect everyone the same way. Skin can be oily for many reasons, so it’s always a good idea to consider your unique skin needs when choosing products.
May cause Acne
These ingredients are known to potentially trigger breakouts, but they won’t cause acne for everyone. Everyone’s skin responds differently so what clogs pores or causes breakouts for one person might be perfectly fine for another.
May feed Fungal Acne
These ingredients are considered potential triggers for fungal acne, but not everyone will react to them. Because fungal acne can be tricky to identify and manage, it’s best to consult a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.
Explained
Isopropyl Palmitate is a texture enhancer and emollient. It is an ester of isopropyl alcohol and palmitic acid.
Palmitates are emollients. Emollients help keep your skin soft and smooth by creating a barrier that traps moisture in.
When added to cosmetics, Isopropyl Palmitate creates a silky texture and improves spreadability.
Isopropyl Palmitate may not be fungal acne safe. It can worsen acne prone skin.
