Description

Lecithindilauroyl is a synthetic phospholipid derivative, specifically a diester of lecithin with lauric acid. This compound serves as a high-performance, non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier, offering superior stability and biocompatibility compared to many conventional agents. It is essential for formulators in the pharmaceutical, advanced cosmetics, and nutraceutical industries seeking to create stable, high-quality lipid-based delivery systems and emulsions. The product is supplied with the CAS registry number 18285-71-7.

Application

• As a key liposome-forming agent and membrane component in advanced drug delivery systems for improved bioavailability.
• Primary emulsifier and stabilizer in high-end cosmetic and personal care formulations, including creams, lotions, and serums.
• Functional excipient in pharmaceutical nanoemulsions and solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) for targeted therapy.
• Component in diagnostic and biomedical research applications, including cell culture media supplements and assay reagents.
• Stabilizing agent for nutraceutical and functional food emulsions, such as fat-soluble vitamin dispersions.
• Raw material for the synthesis of more complex phospholipid conjugates and specialty biochemicals.

Quality Control

Our Lecithindilauroyl is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, purity assay, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets stringent specifications for pharmaceutical and cosmetic research applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C (refrigerated) or under inert atmosphere for long-term storage to prevent oxidation. The material is easily oxidized and light-sensitive; avoid repeated warming to room temperature and minimize headspace in opened containers.
