Description

Glyceryl Diarachidate is a high-purity, synthetic diester derived from glycerol and arachidic acid. This compound serves as a critical functional ingredient, valued for its excellent consistency and stability in demanding formulations. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the cosmetics, personal care, and specialty chemical industries for its role as a reliable emollient, thickener, and texturizing agent.

Application

• As a key structuring agent and emollient in high-end skincare creams, lotions, and ointments.
• As a texture modifier and stabilizer in lipsticks, foundations, and other pigmented cosmetic products.
• As a thickening and gelling agent in personal care products like deodorants and hair styling gels.
• As a lubricant and release agent in specialty industrial applications and polymer processing.
• As a base material for the synthesis of more complex esters and surfactants.
• In the formulation of solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) for controlled delivery systems.
