Description

n-Palmitoyl Serinol is a high-purity, synthetic lipid derivative of the amino acid serine, widely recognized for its excellent skin compatibility and emulsifying properties. This compound is a key building block in advanced cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations, valued for its ability to enhance skin barrier function and improve product texture. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, dermatological, and nutraceutical industries for developing premium skincare products, including moisturizers, anti-aging serums, and lipid-based delivery systems.

Application

• Cosmetic & Skincare Formulations: As a primary emollient and skin-identical lipid in moisturizers, creams, lotions, and anti-aging serums to improve skin hydration and barrier repair.
• Pharmaceutical Topicals: Used as a penetration enhancer and stabilizer in medicated creams and ointments for dermatological applications.
• Lipid Nanoparticle (LNP) Systems: Serves as a functional excipient in the development of advanced drug delivery systems for improved bioavailability.
• Hair Care Products: Incorporated into conditioners and hair treatments to provide conditioning benefits and improve manageability.
• Biochemical Research: Utilized as a standard or reagent in studies related to lipid metabolism, ceramide analogs, and membrane biology.
• Nutraceutical Encapsulation: Acts as a structuring lipid for the encapsulation of sensitive bioactive ingredients in supplement formulations.

Quality Control

Our n-Palmitoyl Serinol is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as identity, assay, and impurity profiles. We adhere to relevant GMP guidelines for cosmetic and pharmaceutical ingredients, and our quality protocols are designed to meet the specifications required for sensitive applications in personal care and life sciences.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
