Description

D-Glucitol Monodocosanoate is a high-purity monoester derived from sorbitol and behenic acid, serving as a versatile non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier. Its structure provides excellent stability and conditioning properties, making it a valuable ingredient for formulations requiring reliable performance and skin compatibility. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries seeking advanced, multifunctional raw materials.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Acts as a primary emulsifier and stabilizer in creams, lotions, and ointments, providing a smooth texture and enhancing skin feel.
• Pharmaceuticals: Used as an excipient in topical drug delivery systems and as a non-irritating emulsifying agent in medicated creams.
• Food Industry (as applicable): Functions as an emulsifier and texturizing agent in certain food-grade applications where sorbitan esters are permitted.
• Industrial Applications: Serves as a surfactant and lubricant in specialty industrial formulations, including textile processing and polymer additives.
• Skin Barrier Formulations: Valued in products designed to support and repair the skin barrier due to its occlusive and moisturizing properties.

Quality Control

Our D-Glucitol Monodocosanoate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, acid value, and saponification value are available upon request. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to support demanding pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using an inert atmosphere to minimize potential oxidation.
