Description

Zinc(2+) N6-(1-Oxohexadecyl)-L-Lysinate is a specialized organometallic compound that functions as a highly effective lipophilic zinc carrier. This unique structure is engineered to enhance the bioavailability and stability of zinc in complex formulations, addressing common challenges with mineral delivery. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetic, and nutraceutical industries seeking advanced, oil-soluble zinc ingredients for skin health and nutritional applications.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: A key active ingredient in anti-acne creams, anti-dandruff shampoos, and deodorants for its sebum-regulating and antimicrobial properties.
• Topical Pharmaceuticals: Used in medicated ointments and creams for wound healing, diaper rash prevention, and treating inflammatory skin conditions.
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: Employed as a lipid-soluble zinc source in softgel capsules and liquid formulations for improved gastrointestinal absorption.
• Functional Skincare: Incorporated into serums and lotions targeting oil control, pore minimization, and skin barrier reinforcement.
• Industrial Stabilizers: Acts as a metal chelator and stabilizer in certain polymer and lubricant formulations to prevent degradation.
