Glycol palmitate is the palmitic acid ester of glycol. The ester is used in cosmetic formulations. E acts as emulsifier (changes the interfacial tension of liquids like water and oil so that they can be mixed together) opacifier (clouds the transparency and translucency of cosmetic products) and skin care products.
