Description

Linoleyl Linoleate is a high-purity diester derived from linoleic acid, offering excellent oxidative stability and emollient properties. This compound is valued for its ability to enhance product performance in formulations requiring a stable, non-greasy lipid component. It serves as a key functional ingredient for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and specialty lubricant industries seeking advanced bio-based materials.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a premium emollient and skin-conditioning agent in creams, lotions, and sun care products.
• Hair Care Products: Used as a conditioning agent in shampoos, conditioners, and hair serums to impart shine and reduce frizz.
• Lipstick and Lip Balms: Provides a smooth, non-sticky texture and enhances spreadability.
• Specialty Lubricants & Release Agents: Functions as a bio-based lubricant in niche industrial applications and as a mold release agent.
• Pharmaceutical Topicals: Employed as an excipient in ointments and dermatological preparations for its skin compatibility.
• Advanced Polymer Additives: Can be used as a plasticizer or compatibilizer in specific polymer systems.

Quality Control

Our Linoleyl Linoleate is produced under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, identity, and impurity profiles. Our quality commitment aligns with cGMP principles where applicable, and we can support compliance with REACH and other global regulatory frameworks.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15-25°C (59-77°F). Due to its easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation and to minimize headspace in opened containers. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and heat sources.
