ISOPROPYL PALMITATE

Not on the EU Annex III list Rule-flagged fungal-acne trigger

ISOPROPYL PALMITATE is listed in the European Commission CosIng inventory under the functional categories Binding, Skin Conditioning - Emollient, Fragrance, Perfuming, with CAS number 142-91-6 and EC number 205-571-1. In the free INCIDB sample it appears on 9 product labels, reaching position 2 on Rexona MotionSense Shower Fresh Kadın Anti-Perspirant Stick. Fulton (1989) grades it 4 on the 0–5 comedogenicity scale; that grade is transcribed as-is and is the only rating source used. INCIDB's rule-derived heuristic flags it as a possible Malassezia (fungal-acne) trigger. That is a rule, not a measurement — treat it as a filter rather than a finding.
