Description

Docosyl Caffeate is a long-chain fatty acid ester of caffeic acid, a naturally occurring phenolic compound. This specialty chemical is valued for its potent antioxidant properties, which are leveraged to enhance stability and shelf-life in sensitive formulations. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the cosmetics, nutraceutical, and advanced material sectors seeking natural-origin stabilizing agents.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Acts as a natural antioxidant and stabilizer in anti-aging creams, serums, and sun care products to protect formulations from oxidative degradation.
• Nutraceuticals & Functional Foods: Serves as an active ingredient or preservative in dietary supplements and health foods due to its bioavailable antioxidant activity.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of more complex molecules for drug development, particularly those targeting oxidative stress.
• Polymer & Material Science: Incorporated as an additive to improve the oxidative stability of plastics, coatings, and specialty polymers.
• Research & Development: Employed as a reference standard or biochemical tool in studies related to lipid peroxidation and free radical chemistry.

Quality Control

Our Docosyl Caffeate is produced under strict quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identity confirmation, purity assay, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets stringent specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store the product under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
