Description

Hydroxydocosanoic Acid Sophoroside CAS NO 20246-59-7 is a high-purity, naturally derived glycolipid surfactant and emulsifier. This compound is valued for its excellent surface-active properties, biodegradability, and compatibility with sensitive formulations. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries for creating stable, mild, and high-performance products.

Application

• As a primary emulsifier or co-emulsifier in cosmetic creams, lotions, and serums.
• Key ingredient in mild cleansing formulations such as facial washes, shower gels, and baby care products.
• Used to enhance the stability and texture of pharmaceutical topical preparations like ointments and gels.
• Acts as a bio-based surfactant in eco-friendly and "green" chemical product lines.
• Functions as a dispersing agent for pigments and active ingredients in color cosmetics and sunscreens.
• Employed in advanced drug delivery systems for its ability to form micelles and improve solubility.
• Utilized in specialty industrial applications requiring biodegradable and non-ionic surfactants.

Quality Control

Our Hydroxydocosanoic Acid Sophoroside is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets stringent specifications for cosmetic and pharmaceutical-grade ingredients. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using an inert atmosphere to minimize potential oxidation.
