Description

Palmitoylkeratinic Acid CAS NO 68915-26-4 is a high-purity, keratin-derived fatty acid conjugate that combines the film-forming and conditioning properties of keratin with the emollient characteristics of palmitic acid. This specialized ingredient is valued for its ability to enhance the substantivity, texture, and protective qualities of formulations. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetic, and advanced material industries for creating premium hair care, skin care, and specialty coating products.

Application

• Hair Care Formulations: Acts as a key conditioning and repair agent in shampoos, conditioners, hair masks, and serums to improve manageability, shine, and reduce protein loss.
• Skin Care Products: Used in creams, lotions, and serums as a moisturizing and film-forming agent to enhance skin barrier function and provide a smooth feel.
• Color Cosmetics: Incorporated into foundations, mascaras, and lipsticks to improve adhesion, texture, and long-wear properties.
• Professional Salon Treatments: A vital component in keratin-based smoothing, straightening, and reconstructive treatments.
• Specialty Coatings: Utilized in technical applications for creating biocompatible and protective surface films.
