Information

Palmitic Acid is a saturated fatty acid commonly found in both animal and plant fats. It serves as an emollient, surfactant, and thickening agent in skincare products. Known for its ability to maintain the skin's natural barrier and provide a protective layer, Palmitic Acid can contribute to the texture, stability, and moisturizing properties of various formulations.

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.

  • Texture: Contributes to the texture and spreadability of skincare products, providing a creamy and thick consistency.
  • Stabilizing: Can stabilize formulations, ensuring a uniform and consistent product texture.
