Description

N6-Oleoyl-L-Lysine is a high-purity, synthetic amino acid derivative where the oleoyl fatty acid chain is conjugated to the ε-amino group of L-lysine. This molecular structure imparts unique amphiphilic properties, making it a valuable functional ingredient for advanced formulations. It is particularly sought after by R&D and production teams in the cosmetics, personal care, and pharmaceutical industries for its ability to modify surface properties and enhance product performance.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Acts as a high-performance emulsifier, skin-conditioning agent, and texture enhancer in creams, lotions, and serums.
• Lipid-based Drug Delivery Systems: Used in the development of liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs), and other nanocarriers to improve drug solubility and bioavailability.
• Biomaterial Surface Modification: Serves as a biocompatible coating or linker to modify the surface properties of implants and medical devices.
• Hair Care Formulations: Functions as a conditioning agent to improve hair manageability, shine, and reduce static.
• Research & Development: A key biochemical tool for studying lipid-protein interactions, membrane biology, and as a building block for novel peptide-lipid conjugates.
• Advanced Emulsions: Stabilizes oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions in challenging formulations requiring high stability and elegant sensory profiles.

Quality Control

Our N6-Oleoyl-L-Lysine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets exacting specifications for research and industrial use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, residual solvents, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept in a dry environment to maintain stability and purity. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
