PALMITIC ACID
SKU: RXSOL-60-6605-169
One of the main uses of palmitic acid is in soaps because of its ability to help keep skin smooth. Palmitic acid is found in beeswax, which is a popular ingredient in personal care products. In cosmetics, palmitic acid is used in skin make-up to hide blemishes.
Application
Palmitic acid is used to produce soaps, cosmetics, and industrial mold release agents. These applications use sodium palmitate, which is commonly obtained by saponification of palm oil. Hydrogenation of palmitic acid yields cetyl alcohol, which is used to produce detergents and cosmetics.
