Overview of Sodium Palmitate

 

Sodium palmitate is a kind of salt of palmitic acid, which is a type of fatty acid that exists naturally in palm oil and other vegetable oils. Sodium palmitate can be found in many commercially available cleaning products. Sodium palmitate is often used as an emulsifier, surfactant, and soap base, as it can easily break apart oils, fats, and greases from surfaces and allow these materials to be washed away with soap. Sodium palmitate is biodegradable, non-irritating, and produces a thick, creamy lather that has outstanding cleaning properties.

In personal care, it's essential for bar soaps, facial cleansers, and shaving creams. Related products, such as Triethyl Citrate, Glycerin, Caprylyl Glycol, Polysorbate 20, and Sorbitan Monooleate, enhance its performance in formulations.

ChemicalBull supplies high-purity Sodium Palmitate suitable for cosmetic and personal care-grade use.
