Description

Sucrose Heptapalmitate is a high-purity, fully esterified sucrose derivative where seven of the eight hydroxyl groups are esterified with palmitic acid. This compound serves as a versatile, non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier with excellent stability and skin-feel properties. It is particularly valuable in the formulation of high-performance personal care products, cosmetics, and specialty chemical applications where mildness and multifunctionality are required. Our global supply ensures consistent quality and reliable availability for industrial-scale manufacturing.

Application

• Primary emulsifier and stabilizer in cosmetic creams, lotions, and sunscreens.
• Key ingredient in high-end skincare formulations for its excellent skin compatibility and emollient properties.
• Used as a solubilizer for fragrances and essential oils in clear gel and aqueous formulations.
• Functions as a viscosity modifier and texture enhancer in personal care products.
• Potential application as a non-ionic surfactant in specialty industrial and agrochemical formulations.
• Acts as a conditioning agent in hair care products, providing smoothness and manageability.
• Base material for the synthesis of more complex sucrose esters with tailored HLB values.
