Other names: Dextrin palmitate, Hexadecanoate, Hexadecanoate dextrin

Harm score: 2 (Derivatives of natural substances)


Dextrin palmitate, also known as Dextrin palmitate or Hexadecanoate dextrin, is an organic compound that belongs to the dextrins. It is a synthetic compound obtained by polymerizing dextrose and then esterifying it with palmitic acid. The reaction involves the fixation of sixteen carbon atoms of palmitic acid to a molecule of dextrin.

Dextrin palmitate finds wide application in cosmetics and hair care products. Its effectiveness lies in its ability to improve the texture and shape of hair without weighing it down. For this reason, it is often present in many hair styling and shaping products, such as hair mousses, creams, gels or wax pastes. In cosmetic products, such as mascaras, it is used to thicken and volumise the lashes. It can also be used in certain types of make-up, skin creams or body lotions. It is also valued for its smoothing and conditioning effects.
