Another name for this is Ethylhexyl palmitate. It is an ester made by the reaction of 2-ethylhexanol and palmitic acid. I think it can be naturally derived from palm oil. It's formula is C24H48O2. It is used in many of your household products. It is used in many perfumes and fragranced products as a fixative for the fragrance. It is used in cosmetics as a solvent, carrying agent for active ingredients, wetting agent for wetting pigments, and emollient (adjuster of skin moisture and feel). You'll find it in most lipsticks, foundation creams, and in many lotions. It has a sorta dry oil feel, similar to some dimethicone blends.
