Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount. Ethylhexyl Palmitate, also known as octyl palmitate, is created from 2-ethylhexyl alcohol and palmitic acid. In cosmetics, it plays many roles: One thing worth noting: a controlled study found this ingredient applied under occlusion to acne-prone subjects increased microcomedones. Just keep in mind this was under occlusive conditions and don't reflect how most products are used day-to-day. For most people, this is a well-tolerated and lightweight ingredient. This ingredient may not be fungal acne safe because it is an ester of palmitic acid, a C16 fatty acid that falls within the C11-24 range that Malassezia can metabolize. Trihydroxystearin is what you get when you fully hydrogenate castor oil into a waxy, fine powder. It's mostly a behind-the-scenes texture enhancer that's especially good at "thixotropic" thing where the product stays thick but applies nicely. Because of its structure, it also acts as a mild skin conditioning emollient that helps soften skin while preventing moisture loss. Safety studies show it to be safe and non-irritation in clinical tests. It's typically used in concentrations up to 5%. Since its an ester of a C18 fatty acid, it falls into the C11-24 range that Malassezia can potentially feed on. This makes it not fungal-acne safe.
