Another name for this is Ethylhexyl palmitate. It is an ester made by the reaction of 2-ethylhexanol and palmitic acid. I think it can be naturally derived from palm oil. It's formula is C24H48O2. It is used in many of your household products. It is used in many perfumes and fragranced products as a fixative for the fragrance. It is used in cosmetics as a solvent, carrying agent for active ingredients, wetting agent for wetting pigments, and emollient (adjuster of skin moisture and feel). You'll find it in most lipsticks, foundation creams, and in many lotions. It has a sorta dry oil feel, similar to some dimethicone blends.
How does fertilizer create carbon dioxide?
Nitrogen fertilizer production converts nitrogen from the atmosphere into urea, a form of nitrogen fertilizer. Nitrogen fertilizer is the main macronutrient used by plants, i.e, the main component of fertilizers (the others are potassium and phosphorus). The atmosphere is 78% nitrogen. Google the nobel prize-winning Haber-Bosch process. The two scientists identified a method of using enormous amounts of heat and pressure to convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form usable to plants. And there's the source of your answer: the required heat and pressure is usually generated by natural gas, which gives off CO2 when combusted. Without the increased plant growth that the Haber-Bosch process enabled, the planet would probably be unable to support more than a couple billion fewer people than it does now. But good luck nailing that number down--estimates are all over the place, and for good reason. For example, without nitrogen fertilizer and with the food scarcities that scenario would create, would we be converting as much grain into livestock? Would we be burning it as fuel in our cars? Would we have better agriculture technology or better management if prices were higher? You get the picture. There is a small dark side to this. When overapplied, nitrogen fertilizer emits nitrous oxide, a powerful greenhouse gas, and pollutes surface and groundwater. Google the U.S. Gulf "dead zone".

What is the cleanest house dog available?
Well, Bichon Frise's are very clean. For one, they DON'T SHED!! That's very nice. No fur all over the floor or furniture. And if you pick them up you don't have fur all over your shirt. Also, they are hypoallergenic which means those allergic to dogs are not allergic to Bichon Frise's. They are adorable dogs. I suggest if you get a Bichon Frise to give it the "puppy cut" whenever it gets groomed. It's the cutest style and it won't get matted or tangled. Also, if your Bichon Frise gets tear stains (which are black stains underneath the eyes or around the mouth) use the product called Angel Eyes. It gets rid of them quickly and is amazing. Their website is: http://www.angelseyesonline.com/ Anyway, I highly suggest you get a Bichon Frise. They're great, lovable, sweet, protective dogs that don't grow that all.
