Overview of Palm Fatty Acid
Palm Fatty Acid is a natural fatty acid derived from palm oil, widely used in soap making, cosmetics, personal care, and industrial formulations. It improves texture, hardness, and moisturizing properties in soaps and enhances emollient properties in creams and lotions.
Palm Fatty Acid is usually supplied as a solid or semi-solid, with a consistent fatty acid composition, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. Its chemical formula varies depending on the fatty acid composition, which mainly includes palmitic and oleic acids.
