Where does it come from?
Palmitic Acid is naturally present in palm oil, coconut oil, and animal fats. It is typically derived from sustainable plant-based sources, such as palm or coconut oil, for use in skincare products. The acid is isolated and purified to be included in cosmetic formulations, where it provides multiple benefits to the skin.
Softening: Acts as an emollient, helping to soften and smooth the skin by creating a protective barrier that locks in moisture.
Protecting: Enhances the skin's natural barrier function, protecting it from environmental stressors and dehydration.
Enhancing: Improves the texture and spreadability of skincare products, providing a creamy and rich consistency.
Stabilizing: Helps stabilize formulations, ensuring a uniform and consistent product texture.
How is it used in our products?
Palmitic Acid is used in B15 Anti Aging Body Cream from OLIVEDA. It is included for its emollient and stabilizing properties that create a rich and luxurious texture while enhancing the product’s moisturizing effects.
