Overview of Palmitic Acid 95%

Palmitic Acid 95% (Hexadecanoic Acid) is an ultra-pure saturated fatty acid that serves as a cornerstone in high-end personal care formulations. While standard grades are common, the 95% purity level is highly sought after for its superior color stability, odorless profile, and consistent crystalline structure. It acts as an elite emollient, opacifier, and surfactant intermediate. As a critical industrial-grade ingredient in the personal care chemical category, it provides the luxurious "slip" and creaminess found in premium skincare without the greasy residue associated with lower-purity fatty acids.

At ChemicalBull Pvt. Ltd., we are a leading chemical company and a reliable chemical manufacturer and supplier of Palmitic Acid 95%. As a top-rated chemical vendor in Vapi, we offer this high-purity grade to manufacturers who refuse to compromise on the sensory profile of their cosmetic products.


Applications of Palmitic Acid 95%

Premium Skincare & Luxury Creams

Palmitic Acid 95% is a vital structuring agent in luxury face creams and anti-aging lotions. It integrates perfectly with Cetyl Alcohol and Glycerin to create stable, pearlized emulsions. Its high purity ensures that white creams remain brilliantly white over their entire shelf life.


Advanced Hair Care Formulations

In professional hair conditioners and masks, it provides essential lubrication to the hair shaft. As a reputable chemical manufacturing company, we recommend pairing it with Behentrimonium Chloride and Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) to enhance the detangling properties and shine of high-performance hair treatments.


Shaving Creams & Foaming Cleansers

The 95% grade is preferred in shaving preparations to create a rich, dense, and stable foam. It works synergistically with Myristic Acid and Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) to ensure a smooth glide and minimize skin irritation during shaving.


Cosmeceutical Intermediates

Due to its narrow fatty acid distribution, it is used as a precursor for specialized esters like Palmitoyl peptides. As a reliable chemical sourcing partner, we provide this as a high-purity import substitute chemical in India, often utilized alongside Isopropyl Myristate (IPM) for optimized skin penetration.


Safety Precautions When Handling Palmitic Acid 95%

  • Store in a cool, dry warehouse below 30C to prevent the waxy flakes from softening or clumping.

  • Keep in a well-ventilated area away from strong oxidizing agents and high-heat sources.

  • Use standard PPE, including gloves and a dust mask, to prevent inhalation of fine particles during bulk charging.

  • Maintain the integrity of the original moisture-proof packaging to prevent oxidative rancidity.

  • Refer to the detailed protocols provided by your technical data sheet (TDS) provider for industrial hygiene standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  1. Why use 95% Palmitic Acid instead of 85%?

    The 95% grade has significantly lower levels of other fatty acids (like Stearic or Myristic), which provides a more predictable melting point and superior color/odor stability in luxury formulations.

  2. Is this product suitable for "Clean Beauty" brands?

    Yes, our Palmitic Acid 95% is plant-derived (palm-based) and meets the criteria for natural-origin ingredients used in sustainable personal care products.

  3. What is the melting point of the 95% grade?

    It typically ranges between 61C and 64C, providing excellent body and thickness to anhydrous balms and emulsions.
