Cetyl Palmitate and the Low FODMAP Diet

Cetyl Palmitate is a wax ester formed from cetyl alcohol and palmitic acid. Traditionally, it was derived from sperm oil, which comes from whales, but today it is often synthesized from plant sources or other non-animal origins for ethical and sustainability reasons. It is primarily used as an emollient and thickening agent in cosmetic and personal care formulations, helping to soften and smooth the skin.
