Description and Uses

Palmitic acid ethyl ester, also known as ethyl palmitate, it the ethyl ester form of palmitic acid. It can be used as a hair- and skin-conditioning agent. It has been shown that the combination between palmitic acid ethyl ester and cobra venom factor can enhance the survival of heterologous erythrocyte. Recent study has also demonstrated the potential anti-inflammatory activity of palmitic acid ethyl ester in several animal models.

A fatty acid found in Amaranth oil; it shows inhibitory activity.
