[Isopropyl Palmitate Supply and Sales] Side Effects of Excessive Isopropyl Palmitate

Isopropyl palmitate is a colorless to light yellow oily liquid that is not volatile, flammable, and has a slight greasy smell. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, but insoluble in water and glycerol. It is permeable to the skin. Isopropyl palmitate is widely used, but overdose can also have side effects.

The side effects of excessive isopropyl palmitate are as follows:

Excessive use of isopropyl palmitate or too high a concentration will cause side effects. It is comedogenic and users may develop pimples. For people who already have acne, using this product can worsen acne breakouts.

Its high viscosity can also cause clogging of sweat pores, leading to blackheads and whiteheads. Therefore, people prone to this skin condition should avoid products containing this ingredient. In too high concentrations, this ingredient can also irritate the skin and cause a rash of excessive secretion. This can also cause acne breakouts. Because isopropyl palmitate contains ethanol, which can dry out the skin, people with sensitive skin should also avoid or limit use.

Excessive use of hair care products containing isopropyl palmitate can cause hair to become greasy and frizzy. If someone has a scalp infection or wound, using this product could worsen the problem.
