AllyEster™ EP In Creams and Lotions and Emulsions in General:
- AllyEster™ EP can be used to replace most liquid cosmetic esters, except those that are very ‘heavy’, on a 1-to-1 basis
- It has a better, elegant, and lighter ‘feel’ than other esters, without being “squeaky”.
- Replacing 10-15% of a solid ester already present in a product with AllyEster™ EP can enhance feel without requiring reformulation.
- It emulsifies easily using all conventional emulsifying systems.
- Most vegetable waxes are miscible in AllyEster™ EP, enhancing the feel of the waxes and making processing significantly easier.
- Ally Ester™ EP is compatible with most silicone emulsion systems.
AllyEster™ EP In Makeup:
- AllyEster™ EP provides good slip making the application of pigmented products smoother and easier. It helps to provide smooth application and then is absorbed leaving behind a more substantive product.
- AllyEster™ EP is an excellent emollient and ‘pigment wetter’ in lipsticks. It provides extra shine, slip and a lighter feel on the lips. AllyEster™ EP acts as an excellent solubilizer for virtually all vegetable waxes. AllyEster™ EP reduces or eliminates the tackiness caused by many of the film-formers commonly used in lipsticks and, since AllyEster™ EP is absorbed, it leaves behind a more substantive film.
- AllyEster™ EP can be the base of a superior binder for pressed powders, providing better ‘blendability’ especially for cream-powder products.
- Used at low levels in eyeshadow, AllyEster™ EP can make application easier and smoother even in products with high levels of film-formers. AllyEster™ EP is not recommended in mascara where it might lead to transfer to the surrounding skin before the product dries thoroughly.
- In makeup removers, AllyEster™ EP can provide an extra dimension of solubilization that helps to remove products that do not yield easily to most removers.
AllyEster™ EP In Bath Products:
- 5-8% AllyEster™ EP will make a blooming bath oil feel less oily and more elegant, while often providing just enough extra solubilization to allow the use of a fragrance that would otherwise be incompatible.
- Just a little AllyEster™ EP can help a body wash leave behind an elegant moisturized feel.
AllyEster™ EP In Hair Care:
- AllyEster™ EP makes combing easier, delivers extra shine and is never sticky.
- In hairsprays, AllyEster™ EP is compatible with ethyl alcohol and all conventional film formers. Just a little delivers excellent shine without being tacky.
- In shampoos and conditioners too, AllyEster™ EP provides better, longer-lasting shine.
AllyEster™ EP In Other Products:
- Pre-electric shave: Low levels of AllyEster™ EP provides a smoother, more comfortable shave with less razor drag.
- In shave creams, AllyEster™ EP lubricates for a smoother shave and rinses clean.
- AllyEster™ EP delivers easier application in both antiperspirants and deodorants when used in any of the conventional bases at 1 to 3%.
- When used at low levels in cosmetic pencils, AllyEster™ EP helps pigment wetting and provides smoother, more uniform application.
- In fragrance and fragranced products, AllyEster™ EP can provide good cosolubilization for difficult to incorporate fragrance oils and other fragrance ingredients. AllyEster™ EP can replace other, heavier esters in conventional skin perfumes, colognes and sachets leaving a much less oily final feel.
- For jar-lite candles, AllyEster™ EP offers several advantages. It burns cleanly, does not cause ‘wick blossom’, and it improves fragrance lift. AllyEster™ EP is an excellent solubilizer/co-solubilizer for most fragrance oils that are usually incompatible with paraffins and microcrystalline axes. AllyEster™ EP serves to soften most wax bases to help a jar-lite candle to adhere uniformly to the container providing a better esthetic appearance. AllyEster™ EP is not recommended for free-standing candles.
- In body oils and personal lubricants, AllyEster™ EP helps the product feel less oily while maintaining excellent slip.
The following types of products containing ethyl palmate have been successfully marketed:
Acne Treatment Kit Facial Cleanser Lip Gloss Anti-Aging Products Facial Moisturizer Moisturizer Body Oil Fragrance & Fragrance Products Moisturizer with SPF Conditioner Hair Spray Powder Hair Therapy Shampoo Cream-Powder Foundation Hair Treatment Styling Gel Eye Cream Hand Sanitizer AllyEster™ EP in Nanoemulsions
Here’s a generalized, easy method to produce nanoemulsions using AllyEster™ EP.
1. Dissolve oil soluble actives, sunscreens and butters in AllyEster™ EP. Heat to 50°C if needed to achieve a uniform smooth liquid. (Phase A)
2. Add an equal weight of Ally-Lecithsol to Phase A. Mix until all the lecithin is dissolved, while heating to 50°C (Phase B)
3. Add water soluble active ingredients to water Phase (B) with adequate mixing.
4. Heat water phase to 50°C
5. Add Phase A at 50°C slowly to Phase B under high shear. Mix under high shear until uniformly smooth.
6. Add 1-2% Ally-Lecithsol, begin cool down.
7. Add 2% of a 50% solution of Certified Organic Preservative BIOSECUR 160 (AE) at or below 40°C.AllyEster™ EP in Cyclomethicone Replacement
- AllyEster™ EP can be used to mimic the tactile nature of cyclomethicone in gelled products, particularly anhydrous gelled products. Allyson Enterprises, Inc. offers a unique gelling agent. AE gelling agent 51 is not certified organic, but when used at less than 5% in a formula, the formula can still qualify as organic.
- The gelling agent is used by dispersing the gelling agent in AllyEster™ EP and slowly raising the temperature to 50°-70°C. When the liquid is clear, mix for an additional 10 minutes at steady temperature, then remove mixer and allow cooling without stirring. It’s possible to experiment with various additions to the AllyEster™ EP prior to gelling to achieve an anhydrous delivery system or final product.

- Note
- Generally use 1% Biosecur preservative, based on biological challenge. 1% is adequate, but each formula is unique and must be tested for appropriate level. Certified Organic preservative BIOSECUR 160 is Certified Organic, NOP, EEC, water soluble, GRAS and edible
- AllyEster™ EP is 100% plant derived and therefore has a naturally occurring faint floral odor at ambient temperature. The level is proportional to the temperature, and restoration to ambient temperature removes the floral odor. Allyson Enterprises, Inc. can supply and recommend fragrances which neutralize the odor during the heating process without affecting the final formulation.
